My how time flies

I cannot believe it has been this long since my last blog. These past two weeks have been a whirlwind. Its not that I have not been thinking about my project. I really have. Some people may think I am procrastinating, when over and over I have been as Carol Kuhlthau says, mulling it over and over in my head. I am still thinking about doing bullying, but have also thought about doing short people as a topic. I am short (4'11") and a dwarf is considered 4'10" or smaller. I have been this height since my freshmen year of high school. Anyway, now what I need to do is decide which one?

What kind of questions do I have about bullying? For one, do I have any books about bullying in my library? What kind of resources could I find on the Internet for students, parents or teachers? Are there any decent videos on bullying? Is bullying the same as harassment? What makes a bully a bully? Why do they become this way? Are there any organizations or support groups? How do you stop someone from bullying someone else? Is bullying more prevalent in girls or boys? How does gender affect the bullying? Behavior fascinates me and I don't understand why someone bullies or what I can do to help those I think are being bullied.

What do I know about height? Does French blood have lower levels of Human Growth Hormone? My mother told me that my father was given HGH shots when he went into the military because he was five foot tall. He grew six inches in the military. He was full-blooded french. Do short people tend to get picked on more or bullied more? This goes with my bullying topic as well. Do I have any resources I could use or point students to on body growth or Human Growth Hormone or dwarfism? What happens to mosts dwarfs? What kind of field of work do they typically go into? Is there a general occupation that short people gravitate toward?

I hate getting stuck in the wondering phase.
