These testimonies show that it is always a good idea to fight against bullying:

• SAM, 15 years old: I was in my Physical Education class, and some girls were bullying me. They were calling me names when the head teacher walked in and heard them. She ordered the girls to go to her office. While they were walking, they were playing the victim. The head teacher told them to stop and sanctioned them. Those girls never laughed at me again.

• OLIVER, 13 years old: Me and my friend were playing cards when two boys entered the classroom and took our cards. They were throwing them into the air and calling us “nerds” when I stood up for us and told them to get out.  

• MARY, 12 years old: When I saw my friend Jane, she was sitting alone and crying. I wanted to help her, so I went and asked her what the problem was. She said that some mean girls were spreading false rumours about her. So, we decided to take action and talk to the teachers to stop them.

Bullying takes different forms and every type is not OK. Here, 3 students share their experiences:

• PAUL, 13 years old: At school, people call me names just for how I look. It all started when I was in 6th grade. I was shorter than everyone and not as beautiful. For example, last week, while I was walking down the hallway, some boys were laughing at me and calling me names. It made me feel very bad.
• AMY, 14 years old: A lot of girls in my school treat me badly and make fun of me because I have a big body. Yesterday, I was talking to a friend while some girls were staring at us. They were making fun of us, so I decided to tell our teacher. The teacher called their attention, but they said that they weren’t bullying us.
• JANE, 15 years old: I was new at this school. A guy started talking to me and two girls were whispering to each other while staring directly at me. Then, I discovered that the boy was dating one of the girls. The girls spread false rumours about me. Everyone was calling me names for talking to someone else’s boyfriend.

The lion and the mouse

After he ate his lunch, a lion🦁 went to sleep. A little mouse🐭 decided to climb over the lion. The king of the jungle woke up, caught the mouse and decided to kill him. The terrified😱 mouse said, ” Please, don’t eat me. I will help you in the future”. The lion laughed😆 at this idea, but he didn’t eat the mouse, and let it go.

After a few days, some hunters caught the lion in a net🥅. Luckily, the mouse heard the lion roaring. He ran🏃 very fast to help the lion, and bit the ropes of the net with his sharp teeth. “You laughed at the idea I could help you,” said the mouse. “Now you can see that even a mouse can help a lion sometimes.”
