Problem: Illinois ranks 29th
out of 50 states with the
biggest bullying problem.

Why does bullying exist?

I think it exist because 
of kids picking on other
kids. Why are they picking 
on other kids? They are 
picking on other kids 
because they are different.
Another reason why I think 
they pick on other kids because 
they are bigger than them.
I know the things they do are 
going to come back on them
because if they are bullying
kids that mean that someone 
bullying them. If someone is
bullying them, that make them
wanna bully someone else. 
That is my final reason why 
bullying exist.

Which is larger, outer space or inner space? Or are they both the same size, and both the same thing?

I Dante, think inner space is larger because I think inner space is like the galaxy and the galaxy can cover almost the whole outer space. Before anyone was born, there was no land at all. God created the land and chose to make a galaxy over all planets. If people was born before there was land, they would of died extremely fast. Outer space is 1 of the most dangerous places in the universe.
Inner space, I heard of it before but never knew anything about it and i really think no one have went there in NASA history. Another reason I think inner space is larger because I heard it gets larger and larger. The inner space is like the outer core of outer space. That's it for today hope you enjoyed reading all of this information.
