This is the story of a young girl that i know and I am going to share it with you. This girl is onlly 9 years old and she is having problems with bullying:
"I have been in school for a couple of months and my best friend, well the girl i thought was my best friend she told me that i should do her homework and then we can sit together at lunch. I did her homework for her a couple of times and she wouldnt let me sit with her. I kept on doing it for a while and then one day i decided to make her fail the assignment on purpose. She got angry and told me that she would never sit with me again and i took a minute and i thought about it becuase she asked me to think about what i had done. Then I walked over to where she was sitting one day at lunch and i looked at her and i said this. "You made me do your homework, and at first i wanted to do it for you becuase you were my friend, but friends are not supposed to use their friends for homework workers, you never sat with me anyways so I am not losing anything by making you fail your homework. YOu used to be my friend, but now your not and i dont really care about it."" This is what the little girl started with, and then she continued. This is also word for word, this is not just my writting.
"I have tried a lot of times to try not to think about her, but i couldnt help but miss the friend that i knew. She used to be great but then she was mean to me. After that day kids started to pick on me and even my so called friend picked on me. It got so bad that I would cry every day that i went home. There were days when i thought about why is should be on the earth. It scares me now becuase i cant believe that i let it get to me that badly. I thought it was bad, but it was only getting worse becuase i let it. Now days, I have a lot of my friends back, but i do not have that one friend that hurt me and made me do her homework. She doesnt deserve to be my friend." Thats how the little girl finnished, and when this certain thing happened, i found out that she was only six at the time, so its three years later and things have gotten better for her. Of course she said that she worried that she would get picked on again. Thats a fear that every kid who is bullied holds onto for the rest of their life. Bullying does hurt people and it can change their life forever if they are bullied in an extremely hurtful way.
