A Bully

Today my teacher asked us to comment on his blog, The Reading Workshop. What we needed to comment on was a post he wrote about bullying. What brought on this post was a book we are reading. A book were in it a boy named Russell is always getting bullied by a guy named Richie. This is what I wrote.

If I were in Russell’s position I would try to be friends with Richie. Do nice things for him. Be nice towards him. Maybe he will be nicer.

If that didn’t work then I would tell a teacher or a parent. My sister or my brother. Any adult. Just someone who can get Richie to leave me alone.

The third and final option would be to avoid him. Try to stay away from him. As soon as I would see Richie walking down the hall and we were the only ones there. Well you know what I would do. Turn around and run. Find somebody. When people are around he is bound not to anything.

And those are the things I would do if a bully was after me.
