South Seneca Middle School

"Letters To Daddy" is a little musical that packs a powerful message — and one surrounding the impacts and ramifications of bullying and bully culture. Our Falcon Players cast members all shared their thoughts on bullies, being bullied, and bystanders. We will be sharing them day-by-day, leading up to the show. Today, we continue with 6th grader Jasmine Mandigo and 6th grader Julia Albro. Mandigo said: "It's not very nice and you should not do it." Albro said: "Bullying is a form of just needing more love in your life." The Falcon Players will perform their musical production on the South Seneca HS Auditorium stage March 17th, 18th & 19th!

Today, we continue with 6th grader Emery Erickson and 7th grader Brook Jennings. Erickson said: "Being a victim of bullying is serious and is hard to to deal with. The bullies commonly have a struggle with power in their life which causes them to take out their anger and gain power. Bullying is a serious problem and the bystanders are usually the ones that see the bullying happening and are the ones who have the ability to report the bullying." Jennings said: "Bullies might have something going on at home that no one knows about but that doesn't mean they have to take it out on their peers, something they could do instead is talk to someone about whats happening."

Our Falcon Players cast members all shared their thoughts on bullies, being bullied, and bystanders. We will be sharing them day-by-day, leading up to the show. Today, we start with the musician's lead, Abby Sherry, who plays Caroline. Abby said: "Bullying is something most people have stories about and experiences with. With that said it's interesting to me how easily people forget what it's like to be bullied/harrassed once they're on the other side of it, whether that be the bully themselves or simply a bystander to bullying. In "Letters to Daddy," Caroline was picked on as a kid for being skinny, so when she sees someone being bullied she literally fights against it. In my opinion, we would benefit as a society if we gained the courage, like Caroline, to fight against the torment that is bullying so that fewer people would have to experience the desolate feeling of being bullied."
