2 Single Story 2011

What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community?

- It mean to describe a place or community, the life or what you lived. [the way they live and how the community was]

Describe a single story you have heard told about your community. What is missing
from that story? How could people learn more about that community?
- I have heard that people from the East Side are worth less. By that I mean that they think we don't care about school, we don't do anything, and that what we do is wrong and bad, that we are really 'getho'. And so many things like that. But what they don't really know is what we live, what's happening in our lives, the problems we have and what we're going throw. I think that they should talk to the people who live here at East Side.

Describe a single story you have heard about another community. How did you learn that story? How could you find out more about that community?
- I hear that the North Side in Austin is the best. Because white people live there. And well it's just better for someone to live there. Asking people that live there.

How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community?

- I could tell them what people think and the thing that are not true an dhow it really is ?!

What are the reasons why people cyberbully others ?
Some of the people do it because they had been cyberbullyed before, some other people do it because they feel less then the rest and want to feel more.

I think this movie was sad, because it happens in real life. Every single day, teens actually try to suicide, a bunch of them die. Well this movie was about a girl that try to suicide herself because other classmates were bulling her threw a website called "Clicksters" Her name was Taylor and people had no reasons to do that to her. The whole school was talking about her and saying she was this, this and that. She had two other best friend. One of them created a fake Clicksters page and stared to bully her too. She did that because she wanted to help Taylor but she didn't realized what she was doing. But she really hated saying her like that, but she didn't wanted to tell her, she knew that what she did was wrong. There was a moment were Taylor couldn't take it anymore, and she spelling tryed to suicide, luckily it didn't worked. After that happened her mom wanted to sew all the people that were bulling her daughter. Her mom went to the people who worked in Clicksters but couldn't do nothing about it because there was no law were it said sewing people in Clicksters. A few days later it was happening to Taylor's best friend. She felt really bad. So Taylor, her mom and her decided to do somthing so there could be a law.

I think that if I was beeing bullied, there was going to be a point were I can't take it anymore an dsuicide myself. For me that would be the solution.
