Annotated Bibliography

Denise, Rinaldo. "Bullying Takes Center Stage." Scholastic Choices Sept. 2011: 4-7.

  Web. 31 Mar. 2012. http://ebsco.com

This article was chosen because it uses celebrities, such as Taylor Swift as examples of bullying victims to provoke a sense of ethos. This article is different from the other sources because it appeals to more teens due to the use of young and talented famous people. This source was used to give advice and hope to those who get bullied.

   McIntosh, Kenneth, and Ida Walker. Youth with Aggression Issues: Bullying and Violence.  Philadelphia: Mason Crest, 2008. Print.
The personal story included in this article is one that provokes pathos and is useful to us in our documentary. The personal experience is going to be used as a story that bullying victims can relate to it. This article is different because it shows an actual teen talking about her experience and teens usually wait till they are older to tell their experience.

  Stan, Davis. "What Students Say about Bullying." Educational Leadership Sept. 2011.Web. 31 Mar. 2012. http://ebsco.com.

Since this article shows what adults can do if they ever come across with a teen getting bullied it was chosen to be used as one of our sources. The source is different because it’s more toward adults on what they can do to help bullying victims. It was used so that bullying victims can be more confident asking an adult for help.

  Unknown. "Facts and Statistics." Bully Facts & Statistics. Unknown. Web. 31 Mar. 2012.  http://www.makebeatsnotbeatdowns.org/facts_new.html.

This article was chosen because it included a lot of statistics.  It was used to support our thesis and to provoke a sense of logos.  This article is different because it gives statistics and evidence that bullying is a problem.

   "TeensHealth." Dealing With Bullying. Web. 31 Mar.2012.http://kidshealth.org/teen/your_mind/problems/bullies.html

A lot of different information can be found in this article such as who the bullies are, the types of bullying, what to do if your being bullied, and what to do if you are the bully. Information such as this , is different from the rest because the source does not only focus on the victims of bullying but also the bullies and how to help them. This article is going to be used to show both sides of bullying: the victim and the bully.
