=**Pre-Launch: T2T Students Voice Opinions & Offer Advice**= //**Middle school students learn more about the BTWF**// //**They discuss Lady Gaga's motives, weigh possible success against possible failure**// //**And, finally, make their own recommendations to Lady Gaga about how to make this work**//

//**Bullied, Joking Around, or Conflict?**// // What is the difference? With so much focus on bullying, are we all in agreement of what constitutes "bullying"? // // Is there any difference between bullying, joking around and conflict? If so, what are they? // "I feel that bullying is when one person is in a conflict and has more power than the others.  A conflict is when two people in a disagreement have equal power against each other.  Joking around is between two close friends, clearly defined as a joke." ~7th grade student
