Student Gone Pink?????

It all started when two Nova Scotia students saw a grade 9 being bullied and called a homosexual by these other grade 9 boys just because he wore a pink polo shirt. The two grade 12 witnesses witnesses did not like what they saw so they planned to help out the grade 9 student. The next day they told all there friends to wear a pink shirt and as asked they all wore pink shirts. When the bullies say that all these people were wearing pink shirts they were furious, and when the grade 9 student saw this he was shocked that all these people were out to him.


The reasons why I think the bullies were wrong : 1) Bullying is un-acceptable, that's probably one of the reasons why Travis and David did what they did. 2) Colours as Stereotypes. Its a silly thing to beat up someone for, just because you're wearing a certain colour, doesn't mean you're trying to represent some type of personality. 3) Showing that anyone can stand up for what they believe in.


I think that the students who helped the grade nine student were right in what they did because they helped get someone get his rights back. They were right because they showed that no one wants to be treated differently than others and that everyone has equal rights. The second reason that they were right is because they wanted the boy to be respected because in order to get respect, you got to give it back. The last reason is that the students are right because they showed empathy because it might have happend to them previously. They might have helped the boy out because they want to help everyone have equal rights.
