ReplyDeleteAnswering to his first one to ask in my opinion an event it is funny when something is not so serious and a little when it is not funny it is when already it spends his limits. When it turns into an intimidation it is when they occupy the blows or the weapon. Answering to his second question the would to serious my relatives speaking whit the nearest ones in this case.
Answering to the last question in my serious opinion to speak with the director of the college.
Hello teacher:
ReplyDeleteThis topic is always hard to treat, because a lot of times we are part of this jokes. In my opinion I think that a joke stops being funny when we start laughing with the defects of the other person, also I think that if someone keeps doing this more than once and knowing the other person is being damaged, it becomes intimidation. If my friends or even myself will be victims of this, I will ask for help with the family of my friend or if I was the person with my family, also with the director of my school to see if can help in something.
Hello teacher:
ReplyDeleteWell , to begin with the first question, the joke it's funny when everyone are laughing ,including the one who the joke is for , if people make a joke , the person should not be passed to carry and also have to enjoy it , but when it is not in that way is consider bullying , because the person will feel very bad and they can hurts the feelings of her or him forever, in this moment the joke need to stop. Second , if i or any of my friends suffers of jokes of bad taste , i will stop the bullying immediately ,taking serious measures,since it is a problem that can affect us very badly , and giving support to the affected , but if after all the problem continues , it is necessary to call a responsible or even professional adult to be able to deal with this serious situation, but also talk to the family of the affected and the bully.
Dear Teacher:
ReplyDeleteI hope you´re well,about this topic,I think it´s hard to treat,because as the saying goes, a word can do more harm than a stabbing.In my opinion I believe that a joke is fun when it consists of harmless games, for example a biscuit filled with toothpaste or the joke of "tok tok",however, a joke stops being funny when they intend to be cruel or negative, which can end in harassment. For some children with learning and attention difficulties it can be difficult to differentiate when jokes are a game and when they are abusive.
but, this happens to be an intimidation when a person is threatened.If my friends or I are victims of this, I will ask the director of my school to see if he or she can help something, I would also ask for help from a responsible adult such as my mom or my dad or the orientation teacher/miss, because , in my opinion they would be the right people to ask for help.
Whit nothing more to add, I say goodbye.

Hi Teacher.
ReplyDeleteWell, answering to the first question, I think that a joke is good when the other person don´t feel´s offended, but if the another person feel's offended and if this joke is a physical abuse. Is bullying when the abuse is continuous. I can help to my friend denouncing this in inspectory or defending it of the aggressors drawing them away of my friend or simply fighting whit him. We can help him giving him a lesson, also the teacher or the inspectors can help talking with the agresor, but personally prefer give him of his own medicine for let him do that anymore.

Hey Teacher.
ReplyDeleteI think a joke is no longer funny when the person who is being made fun of is not laughing nor having a great time. A joke should be funny to everyone. In my opinion, it might turn into bullying when the person has told whoever is making fun of him/her, that their jokes are not funny, but they continue to persistently do it anyways. I honestly don't know what would I do if I was the victim of unpleasant jokes but I know damn well that if my friends were the victims I would protect them at all costs. Maybe teachers could help but some people are afraid to tell older people, so I would say their own friends could help them a little better, i guess.
great topic 11/10, deuces.
Hey Teacher
ReplyDeleteWell joking around is a fun thing to do, sometimes people get offended depending on the joke nowadays everybody will get offended somehow because people are extremely sensitive. Words can hurt other people psychologically, bullying is the act of doing it constantly and maybe involve some physical harm. the best thing to do when youre a victim is to talk about it with someone preferable someone older, it will help you relief some stress keeping feelings and emotions in will harm you big time. If one of my friends is a victim of a unpleasant joke i will tell my friend to not take it seriously and stop being so sensitive.

Hi teacher
ReplyDeleteI think that a joke is funny when everyone is laughing, including the person who is being bothered. It might turn into bullyng when the bothered person is being hurt, either psycologically or physically. If a friend is a victim of an unpleasant joke , I could go and talk with the "aggressor", because i'm not aggresive, and i'm sure that if I tell a teacher, it could go worse. If someone is being bullied, I should go and talk with the victim's parents about the problem. Best regards, cordially, and yours respectfully.
Hello teacher:
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion a joke is funny when the person that bothering also laugh or is not a problem for him, on the other hand, stop being funny when the other person is sad or is upset for him.
Began to be an intimidation when “the joke” is constant and he feels suffering. One form of help is to make him know the person who bothers that this other one spending for an evil moment, or if this continues conversing with an adult on the harassment that the person suffers.
Bye.

ReplyDeleteHello Teacher:
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion a joke is graceful when it has not concerned in this situation and is not graceful when there are injured people of for way. It is possible to turn in an intimidation when the person is affected verbally, psychologically and physically. Responsible mas is to ask for the help of an adult and to communicate it to the authorities, In addition to be able to practise self-defence to finish rapidly with this situation. Those who can help are the parents, inspector and the director.
On this subject it is complicated since in most of the times the jokes are harmless, but when they intend to be cruel or negative they can end up in harassment.
ReplyDeleteChildren with learning and attention difficulties are more vulnerable to being abused than other children. They may excel in school because of the additional supports they receive, and may manifest signs of low self-esteem.
If I or my friends are victims of this abuse, I will talk to older people. like for example the director, with the psychologist or with my parents to help me solve this abuse.
I say goodbye, Josefa.
Hello teacher:
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion a joke is funny it does not damage psychological or physical to anybody, that is, while do not offend another person. This becomes in bullying in the moment in that to another person it damages him and does not seem to him to be graceful, is in this moment in wich it stops being a joke and happening to be called bullying. If it will happen to my or hewold speak to a friend with someone this way to be able to solve in a simple way and without damaging to finish an inspector or a confidence adult might hepl us.

ReplyDeleteHey teacher!
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, I think that the jokes between friends are super entertained, as long as your friend laughs at what you said to him, and do not damage physics or psychologically to someone, First, I believe that it is necessary to have confidence between you and that friend to do certain types of joke, if you don't know him so much, it is better not to do jokes to him, because you don't know the type of humor that person have and, obviously anybody can feel bad or sad about it, in that case is better to apologize, because another person can think that what you do it's bullying and you can get in troubles. If see someone bothering my friend I will help and will say to his parents or the teachers so they can help in something, and if it is my friends who is doing that they what they are doing is wrong, because for him it can be funny but to the person he is laughing about not, and can make someone feel bad or sad.
Hello teacher:
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion i think a joke it's funny when averyone laught about it, but when someone say a "joke" about someone else and that person doesn't laugh about it now it's not a joke and maybe the person who does the joke need to apologize with the person he hurts, and in my opinion this "jokes" turn into bullying when someone bother someone else constantly with words and sometimes even with physical actions, if is that the case you should tell to your parents or someone at your school so they can help talking with the bullies and if one of my friends is being bullied i will protect them and talk with someone at school or maybe with my parents or they parents ans stop this so they can feel better.

ReplyDeleteHi teacher
ReplyDeleteI hope you are well. About this topic, i think that the jokes are funny when it is between friends.When the joke does physical or psychological harm, it's called bulling.If you are a victim of jokes, the best thing is this case is to ask for help from adult people, like the teachers or the parents. I will help and defend my friends if they are victims of joke. I think the jokes must be healthy and not damage to anyone.
Bye 👋
the bullying isn´t funny.
Deleteu r funny
DeleteHi teacher:
ReplyDeleteIn general, these issues are hard to talk about because most people have a different opinion, I think that jokes should always be directed in a good way so as not to hurt anyone. In my opinion i think that a joke stops being funny when the person occupies the other person's problems to laugh.
I think that this happens to be bullying when it becomes constant, when they are always bothering the same person and with the same or worse things.
If I or my friends are in a bullying situation, the first thing I would do would be to talk to them, if not, I would go and talk to the family of the affected person so they can talk to that person.
Bye.

Hi teacher,
ReplyDeleteThis topic in my opinion isn't very confuse. We need to know with who we can do a joke, and If we can trust in them. For example, I put nicknames to some friends, and if he doesn’t like it, he tells us. I think it became bullying when the "victim" doesn’t laugh with some jokes, and the person who make that joke make it constant (obviously if he knows that the person doesn’t like some jokes). If me, or someone else are victims of bullying, I will go to talk with the person, and if he continues, I think adult people can help in these situations, maybe I will go to talk with my parents (or the parents of my friend) and teachers.
Bye!

ReplyDeleteHi teacher:
ReplyDeletein response to your questions: a joke is fun when it is harmless, when everyone laughs at the person who is upset. It is not fun when you are going to bother a person about a topic that may affect you. It can become an intimidation when the person who bothers is the account that is causing harm and continues to do so, for example, bothering about their physical appearance or because they don’t have enough resources or because of a personal problem.
What I do, if it's a friend or me, I'm doing bullying is to tell my mom, that she told me what to do and talk with the parents of the person who bothers me, or talk to the inspector to talk to the person.
If someone is being bullied, they can help you have the problem.
bye. Maria Ignacia Vega
Hi teacher
ReplyDeleteTeacher to begin with the topic a joke is graceful when they all laugh, and is bad when the group laugh at another person.
In the second point the intimidation is present with the person is threatened or bothered frequently.
In my case if out a friend of mine I would face the agressor to stop the above.
Finally if it had to resort to someone he would be an adult that an inspector to controls the situation, for example Milka <3.
Thanks for reading.
Hi teacher
ReplyDeleteI think it's a joke when the person laughs at himself and accepts it, but it stop being when the person feels bad also when they insult, and for help a friend what makes bullying, I think his tell a your parents or a the inspectors of the school so they can help and talk with the person so do they not again, if he keeps doing they throw the school
Hi teacher
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion a joke is very funny among friends as long as both they ploughs amusing them selves and the person does not feel spent to go, on the other hand it does not become graceful when the person turns sad and urged.
This turns into an intimidation when you are "jokes" they make feel offended the person and they turn constant in spite of the displeasure, meeting that if the person not for can be appealed to his parents or to teachers.

The jokes among friends are the classic one of all the times. Nevertheless, the receipt of the same ones changes according to the moment and the humor of the protagonist.In order that to lie, to all it likes to do jokes because really it is very enterteining to see that the persons scare, shout or run. In my house they are prohibited because there was a moment in which my family was joking the whole day with any thing that he us was imagining, so we choose to stop continuing with the topic Since for example papers To cut with form of insects and to place them in a lamp or an insect of toy puts inside a fruit, In the personal thing me much likes to my friends to do jokes, but not heavy jokes, you understand me ? bye.

ReplyDeleteI sit it for not sending yesterday, which happened was that I believed that my sister tape-worm a computer in the house and I decided to leave this for the last hour, and when it comes to my house, my sister do not have a computer in my house and Already it was a midnight and i don't have a computer, sorry :(
Hi teacher About this topic, i think that the jokes are funny when it is between friends. if the joke does physical or psychological harm, it's called bulling.If you are a victim of jokes, the best thing is this case is to ask for help from adult people, like the teacher, if you are in the school or the parents, i think this is better because the parents are you family . In my case i will help and defend my friends if they are victims of bulling. I think the jokes can be healthy but to some extent. Bye bye.
ReplyDeletesorry for the delay, my computer didn't work last night, and didn't turn until the morning :(
Hi teacher
ReplyDeleteI think it's a joke when the person thinks it's funny and does not bother him, but it stops being when the person feels bad. When they bother him continually and with hurtful things, and for help a friend what makes bullying I would support it. I think should tell your parents or a the inspectors of the school and they could help, if the person continues to bother, they should expel him from school.
I'm sorry for not posting yesterday, I left school late and then I had a dentist and I was home late :(
Hello teacher:
ReplyDeleteFrom my point of view a joke is funny, when the person laughs at her and it is not anything troublesome. When this one stop being funny, it is when it begins the person to dislike this "joke", then he does not feel at ease, especially when this turns in something constant.
This is a intimidation when a group of persons attacks the alone one, who feels attacked psychologically.
If in some case I was a victim of these jeers, it would go where the inspectors of my school, In order that they help me and give the sanctions corresponding to this group of persons.
As I said previously to the direction of the college or if it is not inside this one to the police for being a victim of bullying.
I say goodbye.
SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG, forget to write.
Hello teacher
ReplyDeleteI hope you’re well,in my opinion, i think a joke is funny when everyone is laughing and having a good time, however, stop being a joke when the people or the person who make fun of is uncomfortable or upset. It might turn into bullying when the joke rises to another level being crueler and when the words hurt other people. If I was the victim I probably don’t know what to do about it, but in the other side, if my friends were the victims I obviously protect them and do something about it; like tell the director of my school or the parents of the “aggressor” to make stop doing those cruel jokes.
Thanks for reading. Bye
P.S:Sorry for the delay,forget to write.

Hello Teacher.
ReplyDeleteI think that a joke is funny when it is between friends. On the other hand, a joke is no longer funny when the person who is doing it, exceeds, so that, for whom the joke was made (he or she) does not have fun.
Furthermore, it might turn into bullying when the joker, exceeds, and ends up cause pain. If I was victims of unpleasant jokes, probably, I would ignore it, BUT if my friends were victims of unpleasant jokes, I would confront the person who is making his/her jokes. Perhaps teachers could help, or some authority, so that ending the bullying.-

ReplyDeleteHello Teacher!
ReplyDeleteThis is a bit of a tricky subject, because many types of humor can easily blur the line between being funny and being hurtful to someone. I think that whether a joke is funny depends mostly on the person hearing the joke, as some people might laugh at a joke that others find really offensive. Joking can turn into bullying when a person repeatedly makes a joke or type of joke that is hurtful to another person's feelings. I think that the best thing to do in this situation would be to talk to the bully, because it's possible that they aren't even aware that they're hurting someone.
Hola Profesor!
ReplyDeleteEste tema puede ser un poco difícil, porque es común que el humor pueda confundirse entre ser chistoso y ser dañino. Entonces, yo pienso que para el chiste ser chistoso depende en la persona que está escuchando al chiste. Algunas personas pueden reírse de una broma que otras personas encuentran muy ofensiva. Las bromas pueden volverse a "bullying" cuando una persona le hace en una manera que es dañina a los sentimientos de otra persona, y cuando la persona lo hace repetidas veces. En esta situación, pienso que la mejor cosa para hacer es hablar con la persona quien está haciendo chistes dañinos, porque es posible que esa persona no sabe que está lastimando a otra persona.
