One day there was a boy named Alex. It was the middles of the 6th grade school year and he moved from Kansas to California. His parents have jobs where he has to move a lot. So he was trying to make friends at lunch, when kids were looking at him funny when he accidentally sat at the populars table. He was sitting where the captain of the football team usually sits. The moment all the -popular kids came over he found out why everyone was looking at him so weird. “What are you doping here,” asked Jackson, the captain of the football team “, Have I not made it clear before tat no one sits here but me, and my friends!” Alex knew he was really mad ,so he simply got his lunch and left. The next day Alex had a surprise by his locker. After he got thee lock off, something was wrong with his locker. The locker door had been glued shut! He knew who did this ,Jackson and his friends had skipped class for a lame prank! He told the principal ,and he said “We will get your locker open in a jiffy.” Now that his locker was open again, he got his books. He didn’t realize that right behind were Jackson and the rest of the football team! When he turned around they pushed him out of the way, and started throwing things out of his locker. A girl named Abby had seen Alex get bullied for far to long, so she quietly went to the principals office while everyone watched the locks pull apart Alex’s locker. The principal, and Abby cam back into the hall way. “What is going on here,” said the principal clearly confused and upset. “Were umm…. just umm” stammered Jackson. Alex thanked Abby for helping him, even though he may not even be there for the whole school year.

Alex, and Abby’s story show a great deal of leadership. Abby changed Alex’s life by just telling a teacher. Preventing bulling isn’t about just not bulling, it’s about being an upstander like Abby. If you see someone getting bullied go and help them.
