When Elliot writes about his experience with the Jock Rots and sends it out over the KidNet, he includes the following quote in his letter."I think people ought to realize that stuff like this goes on every day…The rest of you are all part of it-because you let it go on and maybe you think it's funny, or you think it only happens to geeky outsiders and kids who are smaller or fatter or skinnier or don't have so many friends or so much money as you. So tell me-what happens when you don't have so many friends one day, or you don't have so much money, or something bad happens to you?" (91-92)

Blog Question:What is the message is he trying to get across to his classmates? (6pts)

I think that what Elliot is trying to say to other students is that. The people who are bullying other people should stop bullying. And even if the bullies din't stop then the victims should do something about it and not just let it go on.
He is also trying to say people that you should always say what is going on with you to your pals or you can also sent your stories on your school website. For e.g kidnet in elliots school and firstclass in ours. He is only asking for stories or asking the victims to tell their freinds because like that they could come up with a solution and solve the problemof bullying. This would happen when all the bystanders come together and go against the bullies.
