- Someone who continuously is being very rude and they won't stop.
(light instrumental music continues) - Because sometimes at school and stuff, if there's a bully and they're bullying you and you wanna stand up, they bully you more.
- It makes your feelings hurt.
- It makes me feel mad and sad.
- If nobody helped each other, I feel like it would just be a giant black hole and people would just be sucked into it until there was very few people who were willing to help.
- The reason it takes courage to stand up for yourself is because you could stop it, but there's a possibility, maybe a high one even, that it'll just get worse.
When I stand up for myself, I kind of feel proud.
I also feel relieved that it might stop, I have a possibility, and that's a good feeling.
- When a kid was chasing me, I was really worried that he would catch me and start pushing me around and I decided I'd tell a teacher because then I would just get chased until I get tired.
Teacher told him to stop, he stopped chasing me.
- And my friend when we're at recess like playing soccer and stuff, sometimes when he says he didn't do a penalty or something and I watched it and I didn't think it was either, they got all mad at him and it made him really sad.
So I went over and we settled at how our teachers said for us to, rock paper scissors, to choose if we are out or not.
It made me feel proud because I helped my friend out.
- I came out to recess and I couldn't find the friends that I was gonna play with and they were playing with somebody else and I didn't recognize the game.
So I went over and asked, and the person who was leading the game said that there could only be five people and four of my friends were already playing with him.
So my friends standed up for me and said that they wouldn't play unless I could play too.
So he decided that I could play too and it was very fun.
- I'm always brave, like if you're afraid of anything, you have to face your fear to see that's not so scary anymore.
- Because when people are being mean to you and pushing you around, you should tell them no because it's not right for them to do that to you or anyone else.
- If somebody else is being bullied or someone else is being scared or excluded, you can go and ask them if they wanna play, or you can stand up to the bully.
- Just walk away and tell them to stop.
If they don't, just tell the teachers.
- I think it's important that we all look out for each other.
- Because it will make your other friend feel good in the inside.
- It just makes you feel better because it can help everybody, and not just get more people trying to help that one person so they don't feel left out and stuff.
- I feel like they're also feeling gratitude to you and you are feeling like you did a kind act for someone else.
You're making them feel good and feel like a person.
- If someone is getting bullied, you should always stand up for them.
Same if you are getting bullied and you are scared to stand up for yourself, you should stand up for yourself.
