What would YOU do? (A story told from different points of view)

Fernández Ivern, Mariana

fun of him anymore, but they told me that if I didn´t go

with them they would hit me and bother me instead. I always get into trouble without doing anything when I am with my mates, there is no point in bothering a little red-haired kid. That day, the bullying was even worse: one of my friends took an orange hat out of his bag and put it on. The following day we also went to bother him but suddenly we saw another guy that had red hair, who was older than us. We had never seen him before but he looked familiar. This made us stop because we thought that he and his friends might hit us.

When I was walking home I felt really happy, because the red-haired guy wouldn´t suffer any more. I realised that I shouldn´t bother people who have never done anything to me. That little boy had probably been feeling sad and angry and I didn´t like it, so I decided to stop seeing those guys and make some new friends.
