Many people think of bully (欺凌) as one child pushing or hitting another, but bullying is not only physical. When I was in junior high, the girls in my class would laugh at me or ask questions designed to embarrass (使….窘迫) me. Once a girl looked at me and shouted loudly, " I don't want to sit next to her!" Their comments (评价) didn't hurt me physically, but they did make me sad.

Bullying is a common problem in schools, and some adults even have to deal with it at work. But anyone can take action to stop it.

Be kind

You may not think of yourself as a bully, but do you make jokes at others' expense (消费) ? If the other person isn't laughing, your words or actions may hurt more than you think. Many bullies were once victims (受害者) of bullying and now bully others to feel powerful. If that's you, don't hurt others, but treat others well. Being kind can truly make you powerful.

Speak up

If you notice one person bullying another, please tell them to stop. Many bullies are motivated (刺激) by a desire to look cool, so if you tell them you are not cool, then they'll stop.

Be confident

If you're being bullied, don't try to face it alone; but ask a parent or other trusted adult for help. Similarly, in places where bullying happens, stay close to a friend since bullies often target people who are alone. When you're being bullied, walk away calmly. If you don't seem scared, the bully may lose interest in you.

Remember that what is happening it not your mistake. You are valuable (有价值的) for who you are.

【推荐1】You may know the song Happy Birthday very well. But do you know about its writer? It was written by an American girl. And she became very rich after that.

When she was a child, she was poor. Once, she was invited to her friend’s birthday party. She was pleased but sad because she didn’t have enough money to buy a gift for her. “The party is coming soon, but now I have little money.” Tears ran down her face.

Later that night she was in bed, thinking about the gift when the door opened and her grandma came in. “What happened?” her grandma asked. Hearing the girl’s story, she said. “Don’t worry. I think I can help you. How about singing a song together? Happy birthday to…” What a beautiful song! They sang and sang. Suddenly she woke up. It was a dream! She decided to write it down at once and sing it to her friends at the party.

When she sang the song at the party the next day, her friends were very happy. “How wonderfully you sing! I haven’t heard such a beautiful song before. Thank you for giving me the special gift,” said her friend. And they learned to sing it together. Later the girl became well-known in America.

But after two minutes he came out, bought a second ticket and went in again. After a few minutes he came out again and bought a third ticket. Two minutes after that, he came out and asked for another ticket.

A girl then asked him, “Why are you buying so many tickets? How many friends are you meeting?” Tom replied, “I have no friends here, but a woman always stops me at the door and tears up（撕毁）my ticket when I go in.”
