My Bully Project

Introduction (One day 4 years ago on a Friday afternoon)

Brandon: (walks to book bag to grab his notebook)

Michael: (walks over to Brandon)

Michael: Hey Brandon, you got my money.

Brandon: Nope!

Michael: Why not? (With an angry voice)

Brandon: I didn’t because I didn’t want to. Idiot!

Michael: Aww your gonna get it now. (Punches Brandon in the stomach) (Brandon falls to his knees)

Michael: I want my money on Monday. You got that!

Brandon: Got it! (With a whimpering voice)

Michael: Good! (And walks away)

Justin: (runs over to help Brandon up)

Justin: Hey man you ok? I saw the whole thing.

Brandon Yeah I’m okay.

Justin: You need to tell someone about this.

Brandon: I tried that. I told the teacher but he didn’t help. I tried talking to his parents but they’d just ground him and when he gets back to school, he just beats me up again. Justin: Well I’ll help you next time.

Brandon: Okay man.

(The next week)

Michael: (Walks up to Brandon again)

Michael: I hope you got my money today.

Brandon: Nope! (With a calm voice)

Michael: Do we have to go through this again? (Balling up his hand into a fist)

Michael: (starts fighting with Brandon)

Justin: Hey get off of him. (Jumps in the fight)

(Teachers run out in the hall to see what’s going on)

Teacher: Hey, Hey knock it off. All three of you, go to the principal’s office.

(All three of us walk to the principal’s office)

(In the principal’s office)

Principal: Now why were you three fighting?

Brandon: Every day Michael’s been beating me up just because I didn’t bring any money to school.

Michael: No I have not!

Justin: Yes you have. I saw you do it everyday.

Michael: No I have not!

Principal: Michael seeing as you have two witnesses and one of them was the victim. I guess I have no choice but to expel you from this school because we have zero tolerance for bullying at this school. Now all of you please just go back to class except you, Michael. THE END

QUESTIONS:

Were you the bully or the victim? I was a witness in the situation.

How did the incident start? It started when Michael was taken money from Brandon and beating him up if he didn’t have any.

How did it make you feel? It made me feel kind of bad for Brandon to get beaten up everyday if he didn’t have any money.

How did you handle it? I don’t think I handled it well because I actually started fighting with Michael.

Looking back, do you think you handled it well, or do you wish you had done something differently?

I don’t think I handled well and I wish I would have told a teacher ahead of time instead of fighting Michael.

What was the outcome? The outcome was that Michael was sent to another school and Brandon wasn't bullied anymore.

What did you learn from this incident? I learn that you should always tell an adult if someone is being picked on or being bullied.
