321 What lessons we can learn from Sucker are to ignore bullying. When Pete Was yelling at Sucker he didn't listen. Then he just went to bed afterwords. Then sucker just ignored him for when he said something mean.If you don't listen to a bully they cant affect you.Also Sucker stopped trying to be like Pete he became his own person.He stopped wearing Pete's old clothes.He started wearing his own everything.That's the lessons we can learn.

I think we can learn Sucker that words are very harmful to others.Like how Pete he told sucker off.There for he never wonted to talk to him again.This is why the words hurt more than the punch.See this why Pete didn't punch him because he all ready new that her hurt sucker.SO i gese the saying is true if you don't have any thing nice to say don't say it all.Then on the other hand Pete was not noticed by Maybelle so that cosed him to be angrier.Then when she was talking to Pete he was nice.I think on Pete’s side he was just trying to be noticed.That is what happened in sucker.

There are many lessons we can learn from Sucker. An important one is that you should not be mean to anybody. That one is very big. Just because somebody is mean to you or doesn’t like you does not mean that you have to be like that to somebody else. When Pete was not ever talking with Maybelle or not with her he was mean to Sucker. When he was hanging with Maybelle he was nice to Sucker. I think that no matter what he could have just always been nice to Sucker. He also always would take out his anger on Sucker. He always did this though when he was not with Maybelle. That was what I think the main lesson was about.

Some lessons we can learn are not to be bullies to your friends or family. Another lesson is to not make some body do want you want them to. Next, lesson is if some body doesn’t like you leave them alone. A couple more are the words you say to a person hurts more then a punch. Pete has learned not to be rude to others or it will come back at him. Sucker became in a gang so now Pete is scared of him. Mabelle doesn’t like Pete any more not as a friend too. Pete had no brother or a friend now he is lonely. Another lesson is not to but friends before family. One more lesson is to not say mean words that will effect the person you are saying the stuff to. One more thing is to be nice to anybody you can.

Some of the lessons we can learn from Sucker and Pete is that if you’re Pete and that if problems trouble you in life, don’t take it out on the little guy or in this term Sucker. If you have something that someone has said or done to you that you have on stuck on your mind, than just keep it to yourself instead of taking it all out on the kid that all he wants from you is a friend. In this situation we are fixed on Pete and how the woman of his dreams crushed his heart, and how he couldn’t get her off his mind until one day Sucker blew his fuse and made him say these mean nasty things to him. Some people may believe that the phrase “Sticks and Stones may break my bones but word will never hurt me” is true, but not for all of the people around the world might not think that that phrase works out for them. In this story, Sucker didn’t think that phrase meant anything to him at all. All of the nasty things Pete said to Sucker really changed their life with each other and Sucker grew faster than Pete had ever imagined. Now Pete feels that he shouldn’t have said anything to the littler person that could change each and others life forever. Lessons are learned from this towards Pete that he now knows that he shouldn’t ever do to another person again. If I were to be stuck in this situation I would try to fix everything fast instead of watching your own cousin change into a trouble maker. This is the lesson that I think we can learn from the book “Sucker”.

The lessons you can learn from “Sucker” is to treat others with respect. I say this because in the book Pete was always so mean to Sucker, telling him what to do and calling him names. The reason Pete did this because there was a girl he was head over heels for, and the girl Maybelle was so mean to Pete. If i were Sucker i would have stuck for myself and told him it was not nice. I would like to be treated with respect just as others want to be treated with respect. Being treated with respect is a very big thing in life that will get you far in many things for the future. Disrespect will not get you anywhere in life because nobody is going to want to talk to you or be nice to you. I think the lessons are important in the book “Sucker” because people need to understand that words can hurt anyone, but other people may not be as hurt. I think that Pete should have been nicer to Sucker, because if Maybelle and Pete’s relationship problem Pete became mean to Suck Just after they started to get to know each other. An other reason i think we can learn from the lesson is that you need to be respectful to others . The lessons you can learn from “Sucker” is respect.

The lessons we can learn from Sucker are to be a good person.Another lesson we can learn from Sucker is to be nice to a friend in need. Another one is to have friends. Another one is to not take out your anger out on other people. Another lesson we can learn is to apologize to someone after you hurt there feelings. The last thing we can learn from Sucker is to not follow other peoples foot steps.That all i can remember from the story Sucker.

one lesson that we can learn from sucker is that if some one is treating you bad you should leave them alone because the only thing you are doing is hurting yourself.If that person keeps being mean to you its time to put them behind you and not have them in your life anymore. sometimes you should not trust people to much because they might just be nice and then take over something of yours like sucker did he took over Pete's room. Than he had all of his friends over and Pete could not really apologize to sucker.when you are mean to someone like that they will never trust you and be nice to you because they have be rude to you.when sucker stopped talking to Pete .for one thing i think lessons are important because you learn from them. you may learn not to do what you have done because of a lesson you learned .

Some lessons that we can learn are, to always be kind and take family before anything or any body else. These are also good examples of lessons we can learn about Pete and Suckers experiences. We can also learn from Pete and Suckers experiences that you should never pick on someone that is younger or smaller than you because you know that your always going to win in the end just to make yourself look better.This is exactly what Pete, because Pete was being mean to Sucker and than later on Pete felt guilty and bad for Sucker.I did think that these lessons are important because when you learn your lesson you know better not to do it again because you will just end up hurting somebody or get in a lot of trouble. Pete learned his lesson because when he was rude to Sucker it hurt Suckers feelings and Sucker never wanted to talk to him again. Sucker always gives Pete the same dirty look whenever Pete looks at him. These lessons are also important because if you mess up on something or do something wrong or really bad you can learn from your mistakes and do better the next time.

What lessons I’ve learned is if someone makes you mad don’t take your anger out on your friend like in the book it said “ Pete was so mad when sucker tried to calm him down or talk to him Pete exploded at sucker but didn’t hit him. The other lesson i learned was words can hurt a lot more punching them cause when Pete said all that mean stuff to sucker and called his name dumbest name of all and that he wasn't his friend. The other thing was when you say stuff to some buddy who was your friend you can’t take it back so sucker was really upset that his friend said that to him i would but for sucker that’s something that he wont get over at all.

Lesson we could learn form Pete’s and Sucker’s problem, would be care more about your bond with your family before a bond with someone you like. For example Pete cared more about Maybelle and how she felt instead of how Sucker felt for all he knew maybe he did not like be called that. Also we could learn not to treat others poorly because Pete always treated Sucker like he was nothing, nothing to care about really.Also people like Sucker get picked on a lot for just plain being a sucker. Another lesson we could learn is think before take action be close to the end of the story Pete met his breaking point with Sucker and just snapped on him and made him feel bad so instead of yelling at him he should of just walked away. I think these lessons are very important because they can help use in life and also prevent what happened between Pete and Sucker.

337 i agree with you about being nice to people because you don't know if they are having a god or bad day. i think that you should always be nice because f they need a person to talk to they know they can go to you.when you are mean you can change things between that person and your self so its always nice to be nice to most everyone.

313/The lessons we can learn from sucker are schools more important than girl friends and boy friends.For example Pete says that school is more important than Maybelle.He says he cant flunk or else he cant move up a grade.Another lesson is who your real friends are.Sucker thinks that Pete is his best friend and that Pete really likes him.Pete just thinks sucker is just a little boy and that he is anoying butt he still cares about him.Pete was thinking about hitting him butt he didn’t because he cares about him.Also Pete said he was going to say sorry for calling him names.Also you can learn that family is more important than Girls.In the story Pete tries to say sorry to Sucker before he says sorry to Maybelle.These are the lessons I learned from the story.

Some lesson we can learn from sucker and Pete. Are if you come home mad just because a girl or of anything just because your mad don’t come home and take it out on your sucker. sucker should be able to talk to you when you are mad so he can know what is wrong instead of you telling him to shut up when he is trying to talk to you. And you shouldn’t say mean things to your own cousin because that will make not like you because of the way you treated him. The lesson we can learn from Pete and sucker are that if you come home mad dont take it out on sucker and when sucker is trying to talk to you should have some respect and listen and talk to him. That’s the lesson we can learn from Pete and sucker.

The lesson I have learned from “Sucker” is to not have drama in my life. I wont smoke, I will get along with my family, and just stay out of drama. The interaction with Pete, Sucker, and Maybelle Are different from each other because Sucker and Pete were fighting, and Maybelle and Pete are just not talking. Maybelle is ignoring Pete. Pete and Sucker are ignoring each other but then again talking. These lessons are important because you can learn from these lessons by not doing these kinds of things. Think about what your going to say before you say it, and getting along with people and staying out of drama. Sucker, Maybelle, and Pete were all good friends and over a couple of words that Pete said to sucker they barley talk now. Maybelle, and Pete sometimes talk but she met another guy so shes always talking to him. That's the hole reason why Pete was mad and said all those mean things to Sucker.

We can learn to be nice to people that we take advantage of because its not right and they could turn from loving you to hating your guts. Also that are family more important then anything and girls/boys come and go.You got to love who loves you back because it takes two to be in love. Like at first Suckers bro was obsessed with this girl named Maybelle then they were all lovey-dovey then she hated him. And not to treat people who look up to you like dirt because that’s cold-hearted.

The lessons we can learn from Sucker are that you should never listen to somebody that is always a bully to you. The reason I said that was because Suckers cousin Pete would tell Sucker to do things that were not safe. Pete also told Sucker that the things he wanted Sucker to do wouldn’t hurt him. That is one reason we can learn from Sucker. The next lesson we can learn from Sucker is that no matter what age you are you should not be a bully in school or out because being a bully will not help you with problems or in life it will only make it worse. That is the second lesson we can learn from Sucker. Lastly, I think it is up to you if you want to be a bully or not. To tell you the truth I would not want to be a bully because if I was. Plus if I had problems it would make the problems worse than what they were. Those are the lessons we can learn from Suckers point of view.

I like what you said because you don't have to take anger out on other people. Also i like how you said you should be nice to a friend in need, i like this because helping then and being nice to them can help them out in a big way. And if you aren't nice to them then your not a good friend or their friend at all.

I agree with you about how you should family first. Also that you should never pick on someone smaller than you just to make you look cool.

I think a lesson we can learn from “Sucker” is to ignore bullying and just be yourself. When Pete lost it and told Sucker off, Sucker just stood there and took it but didn’t do anything afterwards to make the situation escalate. It’s proven. The best way to get a bully to leave you alone is to ignore them and pretend that they aren’t even there. It really gets under there skin when you ignore it rather that fight back. Bullying can’t affect you if you don’t listen to it. Also, Sucker stopped the situation between him and Pete by not wearing Pete’s hammy downs and started to wear clothes that reflected himself. He became his own person, which made Pete realize that the words didn’t affect him anymore.

"sometimes you should not trust people to much because they might just be nice and then take over something of yours like sucker did he took over Pete's room."

You have a few errors. You forgot to capitalize sometimes, because its the beginning of a new sentence. Another mistake that you made was when you said "something of yours like sucker did he took over Pete's room" It is a run-on sentence and you could put a period after "something of yours."

Yes that’s true to just ignore bully's but sometimes its hard because if there in your face its kind of hard to ignore someone that’s yelling in your face. Also you could tell a teacher or someone you trust and you don’t have to be a snitch for it either or walk away I no the things people can hurt peoples feeling but just ignore and walk away.

1. The interactions between Pete and Sucker were bad. Pete would treat Sucker as if he was well a sucker. The interactions between Maybelle and Pete were good at first but then things had started to go down hill from that point on.
2. The lessons we could learn through there experiences are, even though it’s not your brother he is still family, you don’t always get the girl if you think your cool, and just because you mad at one person doesn't mean you have to be mad at another person.
3. Why I think these lessons are important is because it’s not good for you just to have hate in your heart. Even though things didn’t work out the way you wanted it to.

I think that we can learn how to not take out your anger on others, don’t make fun of people if they feel unwanted or unloved, also try to become their friend, and if someone doesn’t like you the way you like them then you should just leave them alone. I think that these lessons are important to learn because if you take your anger out on others then, like the story they might not like you as a person anymore. For example when Pete would come home from school and take his anger out on Sucker because of Maybelle ignoring him. Then at the end of the story Sucker didn’t hang out with Pete or even talk to him anymore, Sucker completely changed because of Pete. You should never make fun a person who has a bad image of them self, they will just feel more unloved then before you said anything to them. For example when Pete would come home and call Sucker, Sucker and make fun of him after that. That would just make a person fall apart after all of that. If the person you like does not like you the way you do, then you should just leave them alone and not bother wasting your time with them. For example when Pete would try so hard to get Maybelle’s attention all day and she wouldn’t even manage to look at him. It’s is not worth it to love that person so much and for them not to love you back.
