When it is hard to make friends

From: Xun Ning, Pri 5, Rosyth School

Talia, it’s not your fault. I know how you feel as Dustin picked on me too. He called me Frankenchin and this had given me many nightmares. However, I tell myself that bullies are the ones who are weak because they need to pick on people to feel good. It’s not cool at all, I would say. We are strong, hence, we don’t take those words to heart. However, when the bullying gets more serious, we should tell an adult whom we can trust. Don’t worry, I will always be on your side. I heard that bullies often bother people when they’re alone. Perhaps, next time, we can go to the library or have lunch together. Can we be friends?
