Emma was super exited but also very nervous going into middle school. In just the first week she made new friends, Little Timmy and Bob. 

Little Timmy and Bob where in 8th Grade, they where popular and "big people of the school". Emma started to notice and wanted to be popular and awesome like they where.

"Dear God, All I want is to be popular. I don't want people to see me as an outside."

HAHAHA

HAHA

Emma walks through the hall everyday to find Little Timmy and Bob making fun of someone.

Emma does whatever Little Timmy and Bob does, Emma laughs at people she doesn't want to hurt, but she still wants to be cool and popular so she does it anyways.

Later that week Emma came into school, said hey to Little Timmy and Bob but today they didn't even acknowledge her. Emma saw them making fun of Jake, she saw the hurt in his eyes but just walked away, thinking to herself.

Do not plat harm against your neighbor. Proverbs 3:29  

On the way home Emma walked past Little Timmy and Bob, Little Timmy said "nice outfit" to Emma and they both started laughing, Emma started laughing nervously as well. 

While Emma proceeds home she thinks to herself, "Do they even see me as their friend?".

When she gets home she thinks of a better idea to stop the bulling instead of helping it grow.

Romans 15:7 ~ Therefore welcome one another as christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.

How to handle bullying

Tell an adult- Whether its a parent, guardian, teacher, coach or anyone else that you can trust. It’s really important to alert an adult about the situation.

Tell the bully to stop or stand up for yourself or the person who is getting bullied in a calm, clear tone. Do not yell or attack back, as it only makes the situation worse. 

Be a friend to the victim
