charukeshi

EDIT: I'm adding the team members here:
DJ-Stickman - head researcher
StarscreamClone - voiceover
charukeshi - music director, producer, and director
perfectcircle - head programmer
shreyah - assistant researcher
jjfabby - assistant researcher
perfectcircle - assistant researcher

so anyone wants to join in on this?

I remember this! I think it was me and Starscream who volunteered to join in with this! I'd be happy to help again

I want to help! I have been bullied. I hate it! I can help with program or other things.

I might be able to help as much as I can. I know I wasn't part of the original idea but it would be cool to help Can I have a link to the project, if it has been started, please?

@djstickman: Yes, it was you two who decided to join in again
@jjfabby yes! go ahead!
@perfectcircle: absolutely, not even started yet…still in pre-production.

Yah! I believe I was the researcher and StarscreamClone was the voice over. I am able to do music, and voice over as well perhaps?

I can program it all to go together!

You have my full support for this. Bullying isn't something to be taken lightly.

That is exactly why I am doing this.

I would like to help!
What should I do?

I can start a script if you want, how long should it be if you're okay with me doing it. If you don't want me writing a script, I can get you some facts for this Scratchumentary.

Can you get some facts?

I'd like to rejoin. I remember I was voice actor.

Ahem….

The statistics on bullying and suicide are alarming:

Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people, resulting in about 4,400 deaths per year, according to the CDC. For every suicide among young people, there are at least 100 suicide attempts. Over 14 percent of high school students have considered suicide, and almost 7 percent have attempted it.
Bully victims are between 2 to 9 times more likely to consider suicide than non-victims, according to studies by Yale University
A study in Britain found that at least half of suicides among young people are related to bullying
10 to 14 year old girls may be at even higher risk for suicide, according to the study above
According to statistics reported by ABC News, nearly 30 percent of students are either bullies or victims of bullying, and 160,000 kids stay home from school every day because of fear of bullying

Gay Bullying Statistics:

According to recent gay bullying statistics, gay and lesbian teens are two to three times as more likely to commit teen suicide than other youths. About 30 percent of all completed suicides have been related to sexual identity crisis. Students who also fall into the gay, bisexual, lesbian or transgendered identity groups report being five times as more likely to miss school because they feel unsafe after being bullied due to their sexual orientation. About 28 percent out of those groups feel forced to drop out of school altogether. Although more and more schools are working to crack down on problems with bullying, teens are still continuing to bully each other due to sexual orientation and other factors.

In a 2005 survey about gay bullying statistics, teens reported that the number two reason they are bullied is because of their actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender expression. The number one reason reported was because of appearance. Teens are at a pivotal point in their young adult lives when they are trying to find out who they are and who they are about to become as adults. This is why being teased, bullied and harassed is something that could negatively affect a person's self-esteem and view of themselves for the rest of their life.

@bklecka, jjfabby, would you like to be interviewed for the scratchumentary?

@any bullying victim: would you like to be interviewed? (I'll do my own interview later)

@any bully out there: if you regret it, apologize to the people you bullied…

More to come!

We will need an artist perhaps as well.

If so, I can fill that in.

Wait, why not get your brother to help by using your computer!
