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

Fernández Ivern, Mariana

friends when a group of bullies appeared and started just calling a red-haired boy names, just because he was different. In my mind I was thinking “We are all different, because his differences can be seen more easily he shouldn´t be bullied”. Time went by, but they still kept doing it every day.

Two weeks after that, I decided to do something for that little boy. It wasn’t really much but it helped him. I dyed my hair red, so that when they saw me they would be afraid of calling him names and they just would walk away calmly. So, that afternoon when they saw me, they didn’t bully him. I was happy and that little boy was, too.

As you can see, doing a little thing like that made a little kid´s day. This doesn´t cost much, but it can have a big impact on someone´s life. Remember that you can fight against bullying and make a difference, too.
