A grade nine student wore a pink polo shirt on the first day of school and the older students bullied the student and threatened to beat him up, they also called him names. David and Travis decided to do something about this and teamed up to hold a pink day, they bought 50 pink tank tops and shirts. They also went online and sent emails, and asking other students to join them in their anti-bullying campaign that they named the "
David and Travis’ actions might have stopped bullying at not only their school, but others across the globe as well.
The bullies lacked all the character traits that David and Travis had shown. They did not show empathy, especially because they began threatening the grade nine. They also did not show responsibility, as one of the older students, they should not have shown the younger students that type of behavior. It should NOT matter if a boy wear a certain color, and they should NOT be called gay, or unmanly.
Davis and Travis respected the grade nine student by sticking up for him, they were also being responsible by making sure that everyone else knew that they don't want fellow students to be bullied, they set an example to the other younger students in their school. They also showed teamwork by working together and by setting a plan to getting most of the school involved. The two grade 12 boys were also displaying leadership, by taking charge and making sure that many people would know that bullying hurts not only one person but also the others around them. They made sure that everyone knows that both guys AND girls can wear whatever they want, no matter the color, and they shouldn’t be called names for wearing what they decide to wear. They also proved that you could change the way someone judges a book’s cover.
Great response, Kathleen! Well done!
