National Bullying Awareness Week
Listen to the above song from The Voice competition. The song is We're Going to Be Friends, by The Whitestripes. This song reminds me of my best friends when I was in elementary school, some of whom I am still friends with today. How do you know when someone is your friend?
"Bullies tear down. Friends build up. So what do you want to be?" Respond to this quote.

I know that someone is my friend when I trust them, they aren't mean to me and I know that they will stick up for me.
"Bullies tear down. Friends build up. So what do you want to be?"
I think that this quote means that bullies make you feel bad, and lower your self confidence, but friends make you feel good and help your self confidence. Then it asks you witch one you are.
or....which one you choose to be.
I know when someone is my friend when I know that they aren't going to be mean to be me. If I am being bullied, a true friend will stick up for me, and I would do the same thing for them. Also, a true friend can always be trusted, and you don't need to worry about them letting out a secret or something you don't want them to tell anybody.

"Bullies tear down. Friends build up. So what do you want to be?"
I believe this quote means that bullies will bring you down and try to lower your self-confidence. Honestly, I think this is completely true.
On the other side of this comment, friends will always be there for you, and will be there to help you in times of need. They will also fill you with confidence.
At the end of the quote, it asks "So what do you want to be?" This means that they are saying that you have a choice to be on the good side of things, making people feel better, or you can be on the bad side, and make people feel worse. I know that I would be on the better side.

I know when someone is my friend when we are well together and we both trust each other.
I also know it when we are very kind to each other and we help each other at difficult times, that is what a true friend will do.
"Bullies tear down. Friends build up. So what do you want to be?" I think this quote means that bullies make you feel emptier while friends really help you and make you happier. At the end it asks you if you are a bully or a friend.
You know when someone is your friend when you can trust them with anything.
I think that the quote ("Bullies tear down. Friends build up. What do you want to be?") means that if you are a bully, you tear down self-confidence. If you are a friend you build it up. The quote asks you if you want to be a friend or a bully. I would like to be a friend, because if everyone chose to be a friend there would be no war and no bullying.
You know when someone is your friend if they listen to you, if they are kind to you, and if they seem to really respect your feelings. Someone is your friend if they act kindly to you. Also, if you are being bullied, a real friend will help comfort you and will stand up for you.
The quote "Bullies tear down. Friends build up. So what do you want to be?" is saying that bullies will try as much as they can to lower your spirit and crush your true self. Bullies will also tear down your self esteem. It is also saying that friend (a true friend) will help build up and keep up your self esteem. A real friend will make you feel good about yourself while a bully will try to influence you into thinking that you are a horrible person who is not worth anything. The last sentence in the quote says, "So what do you want to be?" This is plainly asking, will you choose to be a bully, or will you decide to be a supportive friend?
I would like to be a friend, always not a bully.
I know when someone is my friend when they treat me nicely and always have my back. We also trust each other and will make you happy at hard times
"Bullies tear down. Friends build up. So what do you want to be?"
I think that quote means that bullies will make you fell bad. I think this is very true.On the other half of this quote it means that friends make you feel nice about your self.Then it asks you what you want to be, the bad side or the good side?
-Ronan :D
I know that someone is my friend when they stick up for me, keep my secrets, and are not mean to me. Also when I fall down, they would help me back to my feet, that is a true friend.

I believe that the quote: "Bullies tear down. Friends bulid up. So what do you want to be?" means that if you are a bully, you will just keep smashing, and smashing until you get what you want. But friends are different. They help each other and compromise, so they all have fun.
I would definitely want to be a friend, because friends are way better and nicer, and I am already one, and it is pretty awesome

"Bullies tear down. Friends Build up. So what do you want to be?"
I think that this quote means that bullies will try to make you feel low down, and that friends will always make each other feel better, in other words, "build up". I think that this statement is very true because no matter what type of bullying it is, the bully will always try to make you small (in other words, tearing down). I also know that friends will always try to make you feel better.
You know that someone is actually your friend if they stand up to someone who is picking on you, and they will always try to make you feel better.
I know when somebody’s my friend when they are caring, are kind, and have empathy. When they understand me whether I am feeling, sad, frustrated, mad, or embarrassed, etc. I know that they are my friend when they stick up for me, and will always be by my side. I also know they are my friend when I feel like I can trust them, and when I know I will have a shoulder to cry on.
I think the quote “Bullies tear down. Friends build up. So what do you want to be?” means, bullies want to make you feel bad about yourself, and have a low self esteem. They want to make you feel small, like nothing at all. They want to tear you down. But friends on the other hand, want to comfort you when something like that happens. They want to make you feel better, make you feel stronger, and the best part is they will always be there for you! They build up a very good friendship with you. It also asks you “So what do you want to be?” Which means exactly what it sounds like - Do you want to be a bully or a friend, and I would definitely want to be a friend, a good friend.
"Bullies tear down. Friends build up. So what do you want to be?" I think this quote means when the bully who you told to stop will become your friend. I also think it means that if the that kid that was being bullying and you told the bully to stop that kid will be your friend
I know when someone is my friend when they understand my feelings, they don't talk behind my back, they play games with me, I trust them, and last of all, when I know they will stick up for me and I stick up for them too.
The quote means that bullies make you feel bad and you feel like you get smaller and you tear down your confidence. Friends stand up and their confidence builds up quickly and makes you feel bigger and better. Then it asks you who you choose to be. (OF COURSE YOU'RE GONNA CHOOSE FRIEND! Well, probably 98% will choose friend. The 2%... Your kidding me because that's just silly. :P)
I know that someone is my friend when I trust them and they trust me. I also know that if you are seperated from each other you still keep in touch and you are still friends. Also they don't care what you think. They care for you and you care for them.
"Bullies tear down. Friends build up. So what do you want to be?"
What I think it means is.. Well let's pertend you are a wall. Bullies breck the wall down to get past it. They want to get what they want. Friends do the opposite. They make the wall higher to not let the bullies breck it. They always try to do it whenever they can. They never pass the wall and they grard the wall. If the wall is losing some bricks then the friend works harder.
The question is what do you want to be. The one that brecks the wall or the one that buillds the wall up. Most likley the friend.

This quote (I think) means that bullies hurt people, and they ruin your dreams, mood, and lots of things, but friends cheer you up and encourage you to pursue your dreams. You can choose if you want to be a bully and join in or be a friend and stand up. -SJ
I know that someone is my friend if they are nice to me, if I trust them (and vice versa), and if they will stand up for me.
"Bullies tear down. Friends build up. So what do want to be?" This quote reminded me of the building blocks that the magician/teacher told us about. (Do you know his name, by the way?) I thought that the quote means that bullies tear down or break blocks, but friends build up or add the blocks. And it asks which one you want to be. I definitely want to be a friend, and I bet so does everyone else too.
I know someone is my friend when I can be me around them and know that they'll still like who I am. I know if someone's my friend if I can trust them with my secrets and they can trust me with theirs. I know someone's my friend if they would stick up for me no matter what the consequences are. I know someone is my friend if they are honest with me even if they've done something wrong and trust me with their forgiveness.
"Bullies tear down. Friends build up. So what do you want to be?"
This quote means that if you're a bully all you do is tear people down and make them hide away, they're the building and you're the wrecking ball. It also says friends build up meaning if you become friends with the person instead of bullying them it would build up their confidence instead of knocking it over. They're the building and you're the builder, so who do you want to be.
A strong powerful wrecking ball capable of knocking over any skyscraper but lonely because nobody wants to be friends with a bully. Or a construction worker, you may not be as powerful as the wrecking ball but at least you have real friends who like you for you and aren't friends with you because they're afraid.
I know that someone is my friend when they enjoy my company and I enjoy theirs, also when they aren't mean to me when they would stand up to a bully for me when they keep my secrets they are great friends as well.
Bullies tear down. Friends build up, so who do you want to be." I would want to be a friend, because as a friend you get to build an amazing beautiful building of your friend, then to have a bully come up and tear that down. When that happens I just feel sorry for the bully because who had something so terrible happen to them that they would want to tear down largest most beautiful building in the city, and honestly I don't know. this quote means that bullies just want to tear down the good people in life but having true friends will help because whatever the bullies tear down friends will rebuild.
I know someone is my friend when I know I can trust them, and they will be there for me no matter what. I try to be that too, and if I'm not, I ask my friends to let me know so I can be a better friend.
"Bullies tear down. Friends build up, so who do you want to be?"
I would want to be a friend, and honestly, If my friends were towers, they would be the tallest in the world (meaning you guys are awesome friends, yes, I'm talking to you. You rock :).) I think anyone who bullies just have no friends, so they don't know how great it is to have an awesome friend. (Their friend won't be as awesome as you guys though, unless it is you.)
I know someone is my friend when they care for me more then themselves. Also I know someone is my friend when they always do what they are supposed to and when they try to help me out."Bullies tear down. Friends build up. So what do you want to be?" I think that this quote means that bullies keep getting smaller and don't get any better or stronger but friends get bigger and stronger, and when people stick together they can do better things.
