One time when i was on vacation with my younger cousin we were at the beach, waiting in line to order drinks. She has type 1 diabetes and wears an insulin pump connected to her stomach. She was wearing a bathing suit so you could see the pump, and a guy kept staring at it and I could tell that it was making my cousin uncomfortable and embarrassed. When she walked away I stood up to the guy and told him that he had been making her feel uncomfortable and that that was NOT okay. He then apologized.

One time on the bus in middle school, a boy was making fun of my neighbor who is autistic. He and his friends were clapping as she entered the bus and yelling her name. I stood up from my seat and pushed his shoulder. I told him to stop and he was extremely caught off-guard. I dont regret doing it. In fact, i think i would be mad at myself if i did nothing!

ShareDonne roasted Death with his poem. If you feel comfortable to do so, we would love to hear stories of how YOU stood up to a bully! Whether it was a classmate who stole your crayons in kindergarten, the popular group at your middle school, a teammate, a coworker, or even your boss-we want to hear! |
