(Comments from Students Hearing Dr. Beane Speak )
"Dr. Beane is a great man. I am so glad he came to our school. I think his presentation changed a lot of people. Especially me. All the examples he used I thought about thoroughly. I never want to be a person to make another person feel horrible about themselves. And I never want to be the person thinking horrible about myself. I can't even explain how different I felt after his presentation. And I hope that he gets the message that you shouldn't bully anyone to everyone. I am sure they would listen to him. I hope through the years at St. Edwards, he comes back to remind all kids about bullying. I will never forget his presentation. And I will remember it all through high school. I want to thank him very much for coming and changing who I am." - 8th-grade girl
"Dr. Beane has touched my heart. He made me realize what bullying is and how to stop it. Bullying scars people for life. Many people's only memory of being young is the hate people showed them. All you have to do if you know someone who is being bullied is to tell an authority figure to help them."
"The speaker really opened up my mind and made me think. He was right about everything he said, and it made me realize what could happen if a person was really scared or sad. I really am going to be nicer to people."
"I thought Mr. Beane's speech was very good. He used many good examples and inspired me to be kinder to others and to stick up for others when they need to be helped. I liked it when he talked about how we can learn to treat others the way we want to be treated."
"When Dr. Beane came and talked to us, it was the first time I had really been sat down and talked to about bullying. In the past I have been bullied, and I have bullied others. I try not to pick on people because I know first hand how bad it feels. Sometimes I do and don't even know it."
"It hurts me every time someone physically or emotionally hurts someone, but I never did anything about it. Now I think I will. Mr. Beane is right. Bullying needs to stop. I admit that I have called people names in the past and laughed behind their backs and now I feel really bad about it. I have now decided to completely eliminate that behavior. I have been called a name by someone before and it really hurt, and that person probably doesn't even remember it."
" Hi, my name is Katie and I am a student from GCMS. I just wanted to thank you for coming and talking to us about bullying. I think it was very brave of you to tell us your story. I am very sorry about it, but it was great that you felt we were mature enough to hear that story. Thank you so much!!!"
-- Katie
"Thank you for coming to our school to talk about bullying. I think you touched a lot of people's hearts. Especially mine." -- Kati
"Thank you for coming. You must really have a strong desire to end bullying. I got choked up just listening. I am sorry for your loss. Most of us really took it to heart." -- Holland
"Mr. Beane, thank you for coming to our school to talk to us about bullying. It really meant a lot to me because I used to have a friend that was bullied around a lot. I appreciated it a lot, and I thank you for talking to us about it." -- Jamie
"Thank you so much for coming to talk to us. Your presentation was really good. You must be a very strong person to come and tell us about your personal life. You've helped a lot of people, and I hope you can help others. May God bless you." -- Brittany Prather
"...I have learned so much about bullying and how it hurts people and sometimes ends in death. I am now more open to bullying and I help everyone out no matter what. I thank you so much for coming to my school and sharing your knowledge and your pain with me and the rest of the students." -- Shannon
"I think it took a lot of courage to do what you did. Thank you for coming. I learned a lot from you."
-- Jennie
"Thank you for coming to our school to talk to us about bullying. I would have to say you were my favorite speaker all week." -- Brooke
"I thought that the bullying presentation was fabulous. The presentation touched me and has shown me that just because you look different doesn't mean that you don't have feelings. I am now willing to change my ways towards others and treat them with the amount of respect they deserve. I am willing to change this bullying process to keep the level of hurt to others on a lower level."
"We all thought you did very well. We appreciate your talk with us. It touched all of us, and we want to make a change. We enjoyed and learned a lot from it. Personally, your one talk has changed me, too! I do not want anyone to be bullied, and I have changed. Thank you again for making that speech. I'm sure you have changed many people today. Keep it up."
"Dr. Beane had the greatest presentation I have ever seen on bullying. He basically made me a different person. I feel that no matter what a person looks like, or anything like that, you need to get to know them. Because people who look different doesn't mean that they don't have the sweetest personality." - 8th-grade girl
