  Many people in the world today are now aware of the devastating effects of bullying. Bullying is a blustering, quarrelsome, overbearing person who habitually badgers and intimidates smaller or weaker people. Bullying another person can lead the victim to thoughts about suicide and/or depression. Bullying can take place in many forms. It can take place on the internet or in real-life. The type of bullying I will be talking about is the bullying that take place online, which is commonly know as cyber-bullying. Nearly 43% of kids have been bullied online. Cyber-bullying can have the same emotional and phycological outcomes as real-life bullying. 90% of victims will not inform a parent or trusted adult about cyber-bullying, because cyber-bullying usually has no escape. Most of the times real-life bullying only takes place during school, which is usually from 7am-3pm. On the pther hand, cyber-bullying can take place during any hour of the day.
          Victims of cyber-bullying may feel and think that there is bo escape to this situation, but they're wrong. If you are being cyber-bullied by someone and do not immediately inform your parents or a trusted adult, then at least inform a trusted friend or family member. Victims of cyber-bulling should not be afraid. The bully themself are actually weak and scared in the inside. They choose to bully others because it makes them feel overpowering and confident. If the cyber-bully contacts you online or directly/indirectly states something about you, then you should immediately ignore and avoid the statement. Don't be afraid and stand up.


        
 
          "Hmm... Hey Nate," Bobby said, "do you think time travel is possible? Do you really believe we can actually get this project to be successful?" 
          "Well, we'll find out soon, Professor." Nate replied as they worked diligently on the engineering project. 
          Bobby Dink, a well known college professor, and Nate Lenard, whom was famously known as a scientist and engineer, were both assigned by the U.S. military to make a time traveling device. The U.S. military's motive for the use of this device was to change the past for a better future. This project was kept confidential under the U.S. Government  due to the fact that this information might reach opposing countries and create huge dilemmas.             
          Bobby and Nate are the only ones that know about the existence of this project and are currently working on it in a secret U.S. airforce base in Southern Nevada, which many people know as area 51. They both knew the risks and possible consequences of creating this time machine, but they were madly driven and motivated by the cash reward. The two geniuses worked hard day and night like hot, sweaty pigs. It took them days, months, and even years to finally complete the project! 
          "Finally! After 6 years of hard work and dedication, we finally did it," Nate stated joyfully.
          "Yes, but don't get your hopes up to high now," Bobby replied, "How can you be so sure if it even functions properly? We must test it first before making any conclusions."
          Nate acquised with Bobby's statement. Bobby and Nate both made some agreements and assigned each other specific duties before they took on any procedures for the testing. Bobby's job was to operate the main control pad, which activated and controlled the time machine with a gamut of button. Nate's duty was to make observations as he walks through the time machine and out to the other side. They soon walked to their positions and attended their duties. Bobby set the device from 1:42p.m. of May 2, 2020 to 1:42p.m. of May 2, 2021.
Bobby activated the time machine and a black hole appeared before Nate's eyes. Amazed and mind blown by this ground breaking sight, Nate refocused his attention on the objectives that were assigned to him as he walked slowly and cautiously into the black hole. Within a blink of an eye, Nate was overjoyed that the black hole took him to a different destination. However, this destination was not the exact place Nate wanted to end up in. He was in a alternate universe. 
"Darn! The cursed machine took me to another world!" Nate stated angrily.
          Nate decided to just forget about the situation. He quickly took out his camera and notebook and made observations, useful and descriptive. He crossed paths with unique and odd creature that he had never seen before. The plants and creatures in this universe were just spectacular. The creatures, which had bright, colorful designs on their bodies, seemed to be herbivores. Until came upon a pugnacious lizard-like creature. Lustful for Nate's blood and flesh, the creature glowered at Nate as it approached him. The lizard jumped at him until another creature intervened. They had a melee and indicated as a harbinger to Nate. Nate sprinted back to the black hole and ended up in his universe again. Bobby deactivated the machine, which mysteriously caused it to fall to pieces. 
          "No," Bobby said with distraught, "all of our hard work.. Gone.. Tell me.. Did it even work?" 
          "It did not work properly, but it did take me to another universe. I have a plethora of useful observations. I must have been in their for at least 6 hours." Nate replied.
          Bobby suddenly had a facial expression that look confused and shocked.
          "Impossible. You were only in there for 3 minutes! There's no way you could've taken this much notes with the time given," Bobby stated. 
           Nate also showed the pictures he took and booby was amazed by life in that universe. Bobby and Nate were never able to recover the time machine, but they did make a plan to create anew device that would take the subject to different universes. Bobby and Nate explained the situation and plan to the U.S. Government. Driven and motivated more than ever, they went back to work.
