bullying
I am not a bully, and I am not currently being bullied. But I just finished reading the book
'Please Stop Laughing At Me" and it REALLY opened my eyes to the kids at my school who are bullied. I try to be nice to everyone, but there are those kids who stand out of the crowd and a lot of kids make fun of their differences. There are a bunch of kids I can name at my school who are victims of this. Constantly being made fun of. On one side, No one should ever have to be laughed at or made fun of. On the other hand, for some kids they kind of set themselves up for it. Is my reasoning wrong? I mean, I want to be friendly to those who dont have any friends and who are lonely, but I admit, I have to protect myself. The kid in that book that I read tried to help someone and he got made fun of. At my school, you could get like beat up. How am I supposed to help if I cant reach out to them. That book brought me to tears, just thinking of all the times a long time ago when I used to make fun of people. Not too bad stuff, but It sure wasnt angelic. If I tried talking to these kids that are shunned from the group, I will get shunned too. But if I dont help, I feel like a terrible person. WHAT DO I DO?!?!?!?!?!?!? Thanks for the help

Be nice to them. You don't need to get involved, but if you witness anyone being bullied report it to the office or guidence counselor. Ask them that you remain annonymous.

Just be nice to them. You don;t have to ask them to go places with you, or hang out with you. But if someone in your class is like that, and you cause are doing a partner thing, ask them to be in it. at my school, all the so called "preps" (me & my friends) WE dont make fun of those kind of people, but other kids who seem to be "punks" do. But I understand what you are saying. If your friends are like mine, and are nice to the others, then be nice. But if your friends are the "punk" kind, then find new friends. Im sorry I didnt help much. But just be nice to them, remember, you DONT have to ask them to hang out or anything, but the kindness you do, will someday be returned..<33
