The above audioboo shows an interview I gave with an expert named Richard in the field of bullying here at UMDCP. I chose this topic because, like I stated in the interview, my major is Communications and I felt it would be important for me to know more about it and understand the techniques we can use to spread the word and help prevent bullying and suicide. After I spoke more with Richard, I learned not only about physical abuse but also cyber-bullying through technology and the effects of it. As a result, Richard says "All in all, parents must keep the communication lines open with their children". He explains the importance of communication at home and programs at school, interacting in sports, and even homeschooling are all preventative measures of bullying and even more, suicide. "Years of torment can lead to life long insecurities"-Richard.

The topic of bullying, especially cyber bullying is very interesting. I like how your text was used to introduce your interview but I would have like to have seen more of what you thought of the subject or maybe some statistics on bullying. The audionboo complimented the text nicely, but I hard a lot of static when the Richard spoke. The thing that stood out to me the most was the quote that you included at the end because it is true that torment can lead to insecurities, especially life long ones.
