Woman: Ugh, Anthony, I'm so hungry!
Man: Oh, you didn't have breakfast today?
Woman: No I didn't, usually I have cereal with milk at half past seven, but I was late this morning!
Man: Oh okay, I also eat at half past seven, but I never eat cereal with milk. I prefer toast with butter or jam. Maybe we can have lunch together, Rebecca?
Woman: Okay, let's have lunch together! It's 12 o'clock and I always eat lunch at 12 o'clock, so this is perfect.
Man: I usually eat at 12:30, but it's okay with me. Let's go to the cafeteria then! I often eat pasta with chicken there.
Woman: I always eat a a homemade sandwich with salad and crisps for lunch, I rarely go to the cafeteria.
Man: Oh I see, and what do you eat for dinner then?
Woman: I love big dinners, I usually eat at 7pm and I have things like fish with rice and vegetables, or hamburgers, but always homemade!
Man: Wow Rebecca you cook a lot! I prefer to eat a light dinner around a quarter past eight, so I sometimes eat a tomato salad or just soup!
Woman: I can cook a real dinner for you someday if you want, Anthony!
Man: I like the idea, but first let's go to the cafeteria; I am starving too now!

Bullying and forms of bullying
Bullying is the repeated use of violence.
It involves the bully who is the villain, and the victim who is the bullied, and the bystander who is the one who does nothing to help.
Bullying has been a problem in many schools for a long time. It has many forms:
Psychological bullying is when you spread rumors about someone, you mock, humiliate or intimidate someone every day; whereas physical bullying is using physical violence daily, or forcing someone to give money.
Recent forms are bullying by sending text messages, or cyberbullying by taking or posting embarrassing photos with cell phones or on social media like Facebook and sending them to other people. It's difficult to combat because many victims, the bullied, don't know who is sending the messages.
