  2. Lauren, your talk gave me goosebumps! I loved the passion in your voice! I think this an extremely important, and something that people really need to be more aware of. People do not realize how bullying effects people lives. This was absolutely great! Amazing job!

  3. Lauren-Your presentation was very powerful. The stories show just how bullying affects kids. Your message will go straight to people's heart, and make them feel ashamed to judge people. Many people dismiss bullying as trivial, but you have showed them it is a serious issues. Your facts really emphasize your point. Good job!

  4. Lauren, your topic was very deep and confrontational. It is interesting because because you had tons of stories including a personal story. And not everyone sees bullying from the bullied perspective. I think that your tone was very helpful get your point across. It was very emotionally evoking. Great job honing in on us personally.

  5. Her voice was very passionate and really caught my attention. Her stories were very moving. I was very moved and it really made me think about bullying. I loved how her points flowed. I like how she connected bullying to her own life. The talk was very moving and she knew her topic. I was speechless after Lauren's talk. I now want to be nicer and watch what I say.

  7. Lauren,your words touched me. At my middle school, a 7th grader killed himself. It opened up our schools eyes to how bullying can hurt people. I agree that kids should think before they speak. Great speech!

  9. Lauren's presentation reinforced the messages that a lot of other parents and teachers have said, which only made the message stronger and stick into my head stronger.

  10. Lauren,

    You used a lot of stories and a lot of volume. This is good. I haven't seen a lot do this. You kept us on focus with all these things.

    I recommend, slow down a little. You went from one thing to the next to the next. You could pause for dramatic effect, to let us think about what you are saying.

    Great delivery and great evidence! Keep up the good work!

  11. Lauren had statistics in her talk, but it didn't make it less meaningful because her voice had such passion in her voice. There were many stories of young children who felt so hurt and scarred by being bullied, they didn't even want to live. Lauren personally knows someone who was hurt by bullies, by teasing that went too far. Her voice was very powerful and had me hooked onto what she was saying.

  18. In my opinion, if it is serious enough, we should send these bullies to federal prison, but still, shouldn’t we help these people? I was bullied, and I wish I knew to call the police. Also, how can we change this? Should we put pressure on the students, or adults to change this? Is it almost too much to ask of a 1st grader to put himself in the way of danger to be someone else’s friend?

    The weave of facts was really deep. It was really deep and sad and your talk was full of emotion. You had me hooked on every word and made me aware of what people face everyday. It changed me and it was a good talk.

  21. Lauren- I could tell that you were really nervous but the emotion that you provided with your talk covered this up. You had a lot to say about the topic because you had a lot to say and you said in flawlessly. You had a perfect TED Talk. Personally, I think that you should get a 100%.

  22. Lauren- You started off a little nervous, but you immediately put your game face on. You connected things in our everyday life, simple teasing, all the way to abusive bullying. I took away, "Are you really okay with someone else calling you that?" Great job Lauren?
