  1. the play was well done it was really good . i was crying when the bullies were hurting her and how they killed her. if we could go back to that part someone in the group would of stand ed up for her and told the leader to stop hurting her and that would of helped vera and if that happened she would so alive not murder i think that this play gives this good message all around the world and it would help stop bulling
    vera didn't deserve to be murder she didnt to anything to the bullies they just hated her so they decided to murder her . she was a normal person she was kind nice pretty. i also don't get why people who didn't even know her started to bully her

  2. This play hit me. Bullying should BE STOPPED. People are hurting themselves because of bullies and later on when it gets too far they commit suicide...Like Amanda Todd who just recently killed her self.

  3. I really thought that this play is very sad and heartful. it is hard to see our society being this agressive and it disapointes me that we have people and bullies like this. one of the big things that stood out were that the people didn't know why they hated her. vera didn't just get bullied she also got killed by teens her own age. I think this shouldn't happen to anyone no matter whats wrong with them.
    I think it was a very good act of what happened espacially because the bullies had to be mean and that's not there real personaltie. I did like the play and think it was a good field trip.

  4. I thought my daughter vera was a really good play i think it got the message out there. No one stood up for vera no one cared about her everyone was on one side in this case it was the bullies side no one stood up for her probally because they didnt want to get made fun of just for standing up and helping someone. No one should ever treat someone with disrespect, vera got made fun of for no reason which led to death. People should be treated how they want to be treated

  5. I felt very sad because they murdered her in a very harsh way & if i every witnessed someone getting bullied i would stand up for them because bullying is wrong. I have no connection but i would never bully someone else, because lots of people say treat people the way you want to be treated, how would you feel if you were bullied. I liked the play because it had a very strong message to not bully people.

  6. When I watched the play "My Daughter Veera" my thoughts were how would their feelings be after they had killed Veera and how can Veera trust those bullies that they actually invited her to the party she shouldn't had left, she should've listened to her mom and told her parents what she's been going threw at school daily. As I watched this play I felt really sad because there shouldn't be bullies that harsh out there destroying other people's lives like how they did to Veera. The connections that I noticed was that how Veera died from bullying my friend that I know, one of his relatives had committed suicide by hanging himself from the cause of bullying. I really liked this video because there were lots of stuff to learn if you didn't know how to stand up for someone and to not be scared to stand up for whats right or wrong. I hope that I can go watch another play based on a real story.

  7. In my opinion, My Daughter Veera was very emotional because of what happened to Veera. It made me think of bullying in a more serious way, and it shows me how important it is to stand up for someone. I really couldn't believe that this happened in real life, so I was in shock while watching this play.

    The actors made this play a lot more affective because they made it seem as if they were really in the shoes of that person. I was impressed because I never thought highschoolers could actually act professionally.

    I can connect to this play with the world because all around the world, people get bullied at school, and end up murdered or commit suicide. Not too long ago, a girl named Amanda Todd killed herself because just like Veera, she was bullied on Facebook as well as school. Many others did the same.

    I really liked how they put the play together, and how they switched through scenes. I think it was very organized and they made the message really clear. I also like how the mom was the narrator because that makes it have more of an impact on the audiences since it was from her view, and I think she was the most emotional one after she died.

    I'm really glad that I watched this play, and I hope that a story like this will never happen again. I also hope that others, as well as me, have learned from this play to stop bullying.

  8. I felt pretty bad for her and I was shocked that somebody would take bullying so far it causes them to beat and kill the person that is being bullied. If I were there I would stick up for her and leave with her to go somewhere safe. I can't imagine what her parents felt like after they found out and I can't imagine how Vera felt while being bullied.

  9. I thought that the play was very emotional, its really hard and sad to think that this play we watched was real and it all actually happened, and that the only difference was just that the play was a remake of the seen.

    As we watched this play questions went threw my mind like whats going to happen next? How do vera's parents feel after and before what happened? Does ANYONE stand up and say something for vera?

    This was a very serious and good acted out play and usually I get bored threw plays even if there really suppose to be taken seriously. But this play wasn't boring at all it had lots of details and conflict and was really well done.

    If I were ever put into this seen and was there at that party when all this happened to vera i would of stood up for vera right away because like they said in the play half these people bullying vera did not even no her so I would have stood up and said something.

    It makes me really angry and disappointed to hear of all these different true stories of kids or teenagers being bullied so bad it leads them to there own death when they still had a whole life to live. this is what i thought of the play My Daughter Vera.

  10. I think "My Daughter Vera" was an emotional play because what they did to the girl was beyond brutal. They are in highscool and they murdered somebody! Its completly sick how far the bullying had gone in this sceneraio. I honestly didnt take bullying that seriously but after this play and after what I have seen in the play my I am a lot more concerned about this. They killed her for NO REASON. Everday whe she went to school she got picked on, pushed around, and when she comes back from school she keeps all that pain inside of her to an extend it was too late for her mom to do anything.

  11. I think the play showed a lot of people how wrong bullying is. Bullies might understand now that they will get punished and put into jail for many years. If I went to that school, i would've sat with Vera at lunch, and helped her pick up her books, and I would try to stop the bullies from hurting her. But now after watching that play I'm kind of scared to go to high school.

  12. I think "my daughter Vera" was an inspirational and sad play because it taught me a lesson, never be afraid of the bully, always stand up for what is right. I was also sad because the story was talking about and showing about a girl that died and how she died. Another reason why I am sad about the play is because every day she went to school she got bullied and kids kept on teasing her. Her parents tried to talk to her and help her out but Vera said that her parents are always busy and she cant talk to them, but really she was making excuses up so she wouldn't talk the situation about her getting bullied. If I was a friend with a bully and they were making fun of someone like Vera for example I would tell the bully's to stop bullying her because I know that is the right thing to do. Also if I was getting bullied I would speak to my parents about the issue and open up with them so the problem can stop.
