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)
The message that he is trying let the other students know is that all this bullying
is going on but you are part of it everyone who knows about it going on is a part of it and it might happen to you and then who will you go to who will help no one. but if you stop it know then it will not happen to you in the future. my evidence is that Elliot states that whent he says what if you do not have all your friends on day or even all your money and something bad happens to you

I agree what you said that Elliot was talking about bulling and telling the bullies and others how it might feel to lose all your money and all your friend.
