Then one day, when I was following them to the Math CCA Room (To learn about complex math problems), I heard this, "Hey, isn't that kid Ethan annoying?!" one Math geek asked.

"Of course that dork is!" Francis boasted. This was a case of bullying! I was surprised that my best friend, Francis, did not want to be my friend anymore. I scrambled out of the room and in search of Mr. Lee, my form teacher. I told him what happened and he was shocked.

"This is a bullying incident! Bring my to Francis immediately! I must send him to the Principal's Office!" Mr. Lee exclaimed. I brought Mr. Lee to the Math CCA Room. He kicked the door down and shouted, "What is going on in here?"

Silence struck the room. Francis and the Math geeks were speechless.

"I ask again!" Mr. Lee thundered, "What is going on in here?! If none of you answer, all three of you will go to detention!"

"We-we-we called Ethan a dork..." they said but before they finished speaking, Mr. Lee shook his head and shouted, "To the Principal's Office, all of you!"

"Yes sir..." they muttered sheepishly.

"Thank you for helping me, Mr. Lee!" I exclaimed to my form teacher.

"I they bully you again, you can tell me , the teachers, trusted adults or your family members!" Mr. Lee said and gave me a thumbs up.

After their two hours of detention, they came to me and said, "We are sorry, Ethan..."

"It is okay! I said, "But please do not bully me or anyone else ever after. Okay?"

"Okay!" they said happily.

If anyone ever bullies me again, I know to tell my trusted adults or my family and tell them to stop and do not take up bullying ever again.

Brock was in the canteen, eating his lunch as he eve drops on John's conversation. John was insulting Sally about her curly hair and ugly face he was acting like a bully. Brock was a Primary Six students while John and Sally were Primary Five students.

John was a mischievous boy who was always planned something devious on top of that he also always insulted his classmates and sometimes even his teachers, his grades are not better than his personality. Sally on the other hand had a great personality! She was always cheerful and strived to help people when she can and if they did noy want her help, she did not force it and just walks away. Brock was a quiet boy. He did not speak a lot and liked to keep things to himself for that reason he keeps getting bullied by John.

This time was different, he did not like how John was insulting Sally daily without fail. Brock was fed up with John's antics. He got up and went to tell Mr. Lee, when John realized he was eavesdropping, he pinned him against the wall and said Brock, "You better not tell!" After that, Brock was shaking like it was winter but he was determined to tell Mr. Lee no matter what but was frozen in fear. Later that day, during class, he told Mr. Lee. "Mr. Lee, John was bullying Sally about her hair and her face."

Mr. Lee replied with, "Okay I will settle it.".

He looked into their history and saw how John and Sally were classmates in Primary One, Two, Three, Four and now Primary Five and Six too. Primary One Sally got elected class monitor and every time John did something wrong, Sally would report it to the teacher. John swore to be her life-long enemy for that. Mr. lee decided to take action against the bully and told their teacher, Mr. Ansel. Mr. Ansel said he would take over from there and reprimanded John the bully, John the bully never bullied again.

   Two years ago, when John first joined the school, he had his first interaction with Bob."Hello its my first time here, i don't really know much about this Scholl, can you show me around please?" John said in a polite way, "sure! let's be friends too" Bob happily said. 6 months passed, While Bob and John was playing basketball, John accidentally hit Bob in the face. Bob was furious as he thought that John did that by purpose.

From that day onwards, Bob started regretting making friends with John.

   John is skinny ,short and is a kind friend while Bob is mean but sometimes kind, tall and muscular

   When Bob started bullying John, John felt really sad and depressed for his only friend had betrayed him. But somewhere inside John, he was burning with anger. But for bob, he felt happy as he got rid of a useless friend. John decided to forgive Bob and decided to make new friends that their friendship is like a unbreakable bond.

However, after a couple of days, the messages from the unknown number kept flooding in. after ignoring it for days, Liz's curiosity led her to open and read all the messages on her phone. A wave of sadness washed over Liz as she scrolled through the messages, tears welling up with each hurtful message she read on the screen. She was feeling furious and sad at the same time.

As her curiosity grew even more to find out who was behind this, she clicked on the number and realized the profile picture was of her best friend, Ava's dog. The same one she had on another application. Anger surged through Liz as she realised the cyberbully that was bullying her was her best friend Ava. Liz could not believe this as Ava and Liz had been through think and thin together and Ava had just broken their strong friendship.

Liz felt shy to confront Ava but she

gathered her courage and went to approach her. She scanned her surroundings for Ava. However, when Liz approached Ava she turned a blind eye and said she did not know what was going on. As Liz still had doubts about Ava, she went to the Principal's office to ask what she should do. Mr Lim, the principal then called Ava in the office to question her. Ava then gave in and admitted that she did it because her toxic friend convinced her that Liz was a bad influence which made her cyberbully her and made Ava wanted to stop their friendship.

In the end, Liz forgave Ava and held her hand out to her former friend and asked to start over. Ava, feeling guilty, smiled and held Liz’s hand and apologized and said yes. With this experience Liz felt a mix of emotions. Since then, Liz and Ava remained great friends and promised to never break each others trust. We should always refused to be defeated by bullying and to be careful while using the internet as cyberbullying can happen anytime.

  After Ford pilfered John's wallet, he proceeded to punch and call him a dummy.

    "Why me? cant you pick on someone else?" John started to cry. Ford ignored John's crying and resumed his torture. But why does Ford only pick on John and not anybody else? Well, their history is more complicated than you think.

      John stepped into the school around a year ago as he was 'too good' for his old school. Ford was actually at that time, the smartest in his class but felt overshadowed after John stepped in. Ford’s grades went down the toilet due to the stress and vowed to make John’s life a living hell.

“Hey!” a trembling voice came from behind. “Stop what you are doing right now!”

“Who dares stop me from what I am doing?” Ford bellowed.  He dropped John and charged at the scrawny boy like an angry bull and the boy tumbled down like a bowling pin getting hit by a bowling ball. A teacher noticed what had happen and brought Ford to the principal’s office.

John crawled towards the boy who was bleeding through his nose and asked him if he was alright. And to John’s surprise, the boy was also crying too. He expressed regret and apologized to John for not standing up to him earlier.

John felt touched by his words and also vowed to never let history repeat itself.

''H-Hi... J-Jack'', I stuttered as my voice could not find the slightest of courage to talk.

''GIVE ME MY MONEY!YOU LITTLE TWERP!'' Jack yelled at the top of his lungs, emphasizing on every syllable that he spoken. I slowly handed over the only one-dollar coin that i had in my possession. The fact that I was poor was what made me the center target for all kinds of bullying. Jack was like a bomb, one misstep and he would blow. When Jack saw the money that I had presented to him, he hung me up and pummeled me. First punch , I winced as I held my stomach in agony. Second punch, I was drilled again in the stomach. Third punch, I pleaded for him to stop. Fortunately, Jack stopped and roared at me angrily

''BRING ME MORE MONEY NEXT TIME YOU POOR BROKIE!!!''I remained silent as i knew that Jack thought that the world revolved around him and if i had answered, things would just get worst for me. I now knew that this was the cruelty of being the main target for bullying. Thinking back, some memories of the past relationship between me and Jack flashed through my mind. Jack and I were best of friends. During that period of time, Jack was the top student. However, When I was transferred to Jack's school, I started excelling in everything and took his title

            “Why…….” Alex sobbed quietly, “What did I do to deserve this…” He then recalled being in James class in Primary One and two. During Primary One and Two, Alex had been elected class monitor, and he reported James to the teacher when he bullied anyone or did anything wrong. During Primary Three and Four, even though James had not been in the same class as Alex, he could not misbehave without getting caught because Alex had been chosen to be a Prefect. During Alex’s Prefect duty, he almost always caught James bullying defenseless kids several times.

I was in Primary 5 where I assumed the role of a Prefect. I had unkept hair and was very tall. Even in the bustling canteen, the king of the canteen, James, was towering over a scrawny boy menacingly. His punches and curses could be heard by the teachers, but their feeble attempts to stop James was as if an ant was talking. The notorious bully caught a glimpse of me and rolled his fiery eyes.

We had once been friends, but I severed ties upon discovering that James had been blackmailing others. I reported to the teacher and our tight bond had been shattered forever.

James ruled the canteen with his muscular body shaped. What was once a peaceful canteen became a chaotic battlefield. A sharp and piercing howl jolted me from my reverie and the small boy had been knocked out completely! Everyone started to back away slowly. Upon seeing us trying to escape, he charged at us like an angry bull. We were like human bowling pins getting knocked by the terrible bowling ball. I collapsed on the floor with a thud.

One fine Monday, I went to school. I kept my head low to avoid the bullies that always had death notes about me hoping that I would never return to school again. As I scurried through the canteen, I heard a thunderous smash.! As I twisted my back, I saw a group of boys towering over me. Too late. The last thing I saw was a fist rushing into my face. When I woke up, all I saw was my body covered in bandages, lying on a hospital bed. the bullies apologized profusely and promised to never bully anyone again. As for me, I understood that bullying is an extremely dangerous thing and I vowed to never let history repeat itself.

"What a loser! Who likes to play Among Us? Only losers play Among Us! Stay away or I will make your life worse!" Threatened Jack. John did not know that his best friend would bully him.

A few years ago, a new game called Among Us was released and everyone, including Jack and John into a frenzy played with each other everyday and that was how they became best friends. It was until one day when Among Us lost its popularity and everyone started diving towards Roblox. And therefore, everyone was bulling John. As for John, he continued to play despite the game's lost in popularity. Because of this Jack and John's relationship began to fall apart.

Jack had a layer of fats above his huge layer of muscles while John was the typical student you would expect. Jack is a friendly person to his friends but if you were his enemy you would most likely come out bleeding everywhere. John liked to interact with people and chat and that was what made him vulnerable to bullying. Jack was ferocious when John kept on saying that he should play Among Us. John was down in the gutter when everyone refused to play with him.

The following day, John was scrolling through his messages when he noticed that Jack was spamming "Loser" in the chat. Jack also sent other messages like "What a loser! You should stop playing! You are so weird!..." After staring at it for a few minutes, he pinched himself to see if he was dreaming. He could not believe that Jack would say such a thing. He could not stand to think about it, so he decided to read a book to lull his own brain to a glorious

  When I got to school James the bully was already there and was waiting for me to come so that he could bully me.  When I got out of the bus I sprinted away from James, but unfortunately I was not fast enough and he caught me easily with one hand he then lifted me up by my T-shirt just when he was going to punch me the bell rang and it was time for class I was so lucky that the bell rang it saved my life.

  After class I went to recess quickly to avoid James but was to no avail he had beaten me and was already there I felt so defeated that I felt like crying but if I was to cry I would have already lose the battle the reason why he targeted me was because we once was friends but that all changed

   Sarah was a good, friendly, and kind student. In Primary Two, she met a popular and cool friend, Jamie. Jamie was the first friend she made as people often call her a "nerd". Sarah shook the things off her back and made friends with Jamie. One Day, Sarah got full marks for her English Exam, but Jamie failed. People started calling Jamie a "failure" and she lost her popularity. Sarah was appointed the "most respected person in class" Jamie was in the Tinge of Envy. Because Sarah got full marks, she took away her popularity. Jamie decided to start bullying a Sarah and nothing was getting in her way.

   Sarah was often timid and a scrawny girl who was easy to pick on while Jamie was a tall and strong girl. Jamie even towered over some Primary Sixers and a teacher! Jamie’s big stomach was not easy to get through. Sarah’s small, marble stomach was extremely easy for people to grab on. Sarah was a smart, kind and loved to bring a smile onto people’s face while Jamie was a not-so-smart person who always bullied and teased people. No one dared to approach Jamie as she was a bully. Sarah really wanted to tell the teacher, but she is afraid that Jamie would call her a “snitch” and will bully Sarah until her “death.” Sarah decided to bear with this until she graduated.

   One day, Sarah decided to buck up her courage and stomped her feet to a teacher. She told everything that happened. The teacher sent Jamie to the principal’s office. The next day, Jamie was caned in front of the school. She wept and learned her lesson to never bully people again. Sarah will never forget what bullying destroyed. She was also determined to emerge stronger and not let bullying defeat or scar her forever.

I know the person who started this. She was my best friend, Audrey. Audrey had a twin sister named, Emily, who is current best friend. The twins and I met each other when we were just seven years old and from that day on , we were best friends, not until last week , when the twins just turned eleven. Audrey wanted to end our friendship from that day on as I was too 'low' to be her best friend and pretended that we did not know each other. I told her if she ever wanted to end our friendship , I would snitch on her to the principal what she did at the back of the school that day. She told me if I had the guts to do it, than I should go ahead. I had a feeling that Emily would follow Audrey as they were twins but unexpectly, she stayed with me and comforted me as I broke down in tears.

I thought what I told Audrey was just a minor threat and I did not know that she would take it so seriously. I never tended to tell the principal about what she had done.

Audrey had long, brown , straight hair , hazel dark eyes that one could fall into easily and she wear a beaming smile all the time.

Emily had short, brown , straight hair, light brown eyes that reminds other of  a clear , autumn sky

I had big, black .bouncy curls , dark  brown eyes that is deeper than the sea.

Audrey was enraged because I threatened her and I’m terrified because Audrey was quite popular at school and if she say something about me , everyone would believe her.

The day after we broke up , I stepped into school , and everybody stared at me and started to whisper. I did not know what was happening , until I notice Emily darting towards me .

She explained to me all that is happening and pointed at Audrey, I caught sight of her smirking at me and the end of the hallway.

I was boiling with rage that day because what Audrey said about me was so nasty and it was spreading like wild fire.

Emily would in form me all that Audrey said about me. After a few weeks of the gossiping , I had enough and I went to the Principal’s office and reported that Audrey was bullying me spreading fake informations about me and all the gossips and the incident at the back of the school.          

 It was not my fault they were talking to me, I had pale blue eyes and I was the center of attention! They were simply asking me how it felt like have such pretty eyes. I was worried as Javier was bigger than most kids and tall. Javier was also muscular and could do a lot of damage if I became a target of his. Javier had dirty unkempt hair and had a very short temper while on the other hand I had neat hair but I was considered a bit short.

    I was kind, funny and was called very smart.While Javier very rude to those who were not ‘his type of people’ People always considered him a ‘meanie’.Yet,he was well-liked by teachers a sin front of them he was a goodie-two-shoes.The next day I woke up with snakes in my stomach,I barely got any sleep last night! I was afraid of what Javier would do to me if he crossed paths with me. I trudged my way to school as slumped around like a big fat potato. During recess I had a sense that something was not right. Yet I ignored it and dug into my ham and cheese sandwich.Sudennly, a big fat hand slapped my on the back, I froze in shock as I realized who it was. It was Javier! My heart was pumping,chest was screaming,mind was running. And the air felt like it was freezing!I put my hands up and I to protect myself.

       Javier laughed ”Oh!The roach wants to fight! Well of that’s what he wants then he shall get!”He did a hard blow on my chest, knocking me down.I winced in pain but I got up and mumbled with all my energy “Why?Why…do you..do this?Why are you a bully…Why Javier why?”

He froze and stood rooted to the ground and his eyes were as big as saucers.Seeing that it worked I continued “Are you doing it only for the satisfaction?Are you just like this?” Tears fell down his face like the pearls from a broken necklace.

“I used to be bullied but one day I grew.I wanted to get my revenge.” At this part he was on the ground. I gave a weak smile and said “Just never do this again ok?” Javier nodded and shaked hands with me.

    I felt like a new person after this Javier had suffered the pain of being bullied and became one himself.I grew out of my shell and was introduced to a new world.One filled with pain.I vowed never to be a bully ever!

Amy started bullying Jane when both of them first entered the school. Amy thought that Jane was an easy person to bully as she was very timid. Amy would always think of terrible things to do to Jane, and jane would be afraid to tell the teacher about Amy as she was afraid that Amy would bully Jane more. On the other hand, Amy was proud of what she did to Jane and felt like she was superior to everyone.

Recently, Amy's bullying got worse - it did not just involve calling of names anymore.

Amy would tell everyone in Jane's class that she was a bad student and that Jane's classmates should not be Jane's friend anymore. Upon hearing what Amy did, Jane felt heartbroken and became scared of going to school. When Jane went home, she looked very sad, and fortunately, Jane's mother noticed. Jane's mother noticed something off about Jane. " Are you okay Jane? What happened?" Jane's mother asked.

Jane had no choice but to tell her mother, " There is this girl in school called Amy and she constantly bullies me. She is always gossiping bad things about me to my best friends! Now, I am friendless." Jane replied with tears rolling down her cheeks. Jane's mother comforted jane and asked her to stop the bullies from bullying. Jane nodded and thanked her mother.

The next day, Amy and her henchmen went up to Jane to make fun of her. " Oh My, Jane! You have such bad fashion sense! What in the world are you wearing? Clothes for a beggar?" Amy and her henchmen laughed in a evil way. They continued talking bad about Jane, until finally, Jane could not take it anymore. Jane clenched her fists angrily and shouted, " Amy! Stop bullying me! I don't like it! Amy was stunned, but after a while said, " What will you do if I didn't?'' " Do you know how much pain you have given me? Do you even know how it feels like to be bullied?" Jane shouted back. At this moment, Amy felt like what she did was wrong. Amy knew what it was like to be bullied. She knew it was not a good feeling to be bullied. Amy also realized that she should not bully others as it is a terrible thing to do. She went up to Jane and said, '' I'm sorry Jane, the words you said just now left a deep impression on me. Yes, I know how its like to be bullied, it is not a good feeling. Do....do you think we could be friends?

Jane smiled, ''its good that you know that you were wrong, and I don't blame you for bullying me. I know you were doing it out of anger. I forgive you, and I would love to be your friend!''

I was primary three when this happened. I was then a prefect in Red Swastika School. I was very timid, weak and tiny in size, I was bullied by almost everyone. Sometimes, it would be more severe than i could ever thought it could be but this time there was an incident that was the most severe situation I had witness before.

    “This guy is so weak, I bet I could beat him up easily,” said teased the bully whom everyone feared. He went by the name ’the feared rocky’. During recess, He would slam every table that comes in his way wanting either all their food or their food money. Everyone would be so scared even if he is coming near your table.no teacher or principle had the guts to expel him as his father is the president of Singapore.

" Jessica! Look! The dork is here!" Mackenzie snickered as she jabbed a finger towards me. "why, why always me?" I thought. Jessica, Mackenzie and I used to be classmates from Primary one to four but we are now in different classed. I thought this would be over but that was not all. They were always trying to find ways to bully me. Fortunately for me, most of th time, pranks would backfire. Mackenzie and Jessica had flawless complexation. As for me, I had pimples all over my face and had super thick glasses, had my hair tied in braids and braces worn on my teeth which Mackenzie always make fun of. Recently, Mackenzie and Jessica became the most popular students in our school. When ever they pass by a crowd of students, they would start whispering to each other, admiring their stunning looks while they walk down the corridor like a model walking down the walk way.

       Upon reaching the principal’s office, Mr Lim, the principal began questioning me how Mackenzie and Jessica had been bullying me. After answering his questions, he then urged me to head back to class while he lectured Mackenzie and Jessica. While I was strolling back to class, I saw that a boy that looked like a Primary 1 was being threatened  by a chubby boy, a year younger than me.

“ Hey! Stop right now!” I shouted furiously, “ Why are you bullying this little boy! Do you know that this hurts people’s feelings! How would you feel if someone demands you money! Go target someone your size!” I said shooing the boy away, grabbing the younger boy shoulder tightly. Frightened, the chubby boy ran away.” Thank you big sis! I will never forget you.” He exclaimed gratefully before running to his group of friends that were waiting for him in the canteen. This case of bullying made me remember something unpleasant.

       A year ago on my birthday,

  One day, I went to two students named Brock and John and they were towering over a scrawny and ant-sized boy which was named Tom menacingly, cursing and calling him names. I bravely stood up for Tom and told Brock and John to stop bullying him but instead of listening to me, they started turning their attention to me and started talking back to me. From that day onwards they constantly bullied me and never failed to make my day miserable. I regretted what I did on that day but still felt happy for Tom that he was not bullied again.

  I told my teacher, Mr Tan, that Brock and John had been bullying me and he reprimanded both Brock and John and the bullying stopped for a while but whenever they saw me they saw me, they would give me an evil stare.

  A few days later, the bullying continued and they told me not to tell the teacher or I would be in hot soup and that there would be serious consequences if I told the teacher. Every recess, they would steal my food and ask me for all my pocket money or they would beat me up very badly. I turned into a scrawny boy but Tom grew taller and stronger because he could eat every recess while on the other hand, I had to suffer in silence and could not tell the teacher about them.

  During recess, I accidentally bumped into Brock and John and they became red with rage and they were so angry that it was as if steam was about to come out from their ears. I started shivering in fear and Brock suddenly flung the bowl of noodles on to me. I started crying because the bowl of hot noodles and soup landed on me and it burned me.

I tried to tell my mom about this but Gace will acted so innocent infronted

The next day while it was lunch break in school, I bought my noodles from my favorite stall and as I was walking to my seat, Chloe bumped into me. The noodles and soup spilled all onto Chloe.

"Please forgive me, I’m so sorry!"

Chloe rolled her eyes and shouted: OH, YOU THINK SAYING SORRY AND GOING TO MAKE ME FORGIVE YOU?"

Suddenly, I felt a huge blow on my stomach. Chloe, after hitting me dragged to a dark corner clamored

"Slam!" A school bag smashed onto the floor. As I entered the classroom ,I sat down on my chair .Then, I took out a book to read while my classmates mocked me for my curly hair.

I was a scrawny nerd with curly hair. I was always picked on by bullies I was a scrawny nerd with curly hair. I was always picked on by bullies

for my curly hair. Then ,the most notorious bullies in school came to class. Jane and her gang walked in while I tried to keep my head low then Jane

Alson and Ryan were my good friends at Primary School. we got to the same school. Alson ,who suddenly grew 10cm taller. Alson and Ryan decided not to be friends with me .I overshadowed them in many different ways. "crash!" Alson flung my bowl of fish ball noodles onto the floor just to entertain Ryan. I was upset and angry. Alson was tall, mean, rude and naughty. Ryan was not so tall, had black Spectacles and short hair.

I went to the hard court and saw Alson crash into a short , tiny boy. the boy cried and Alson called him a cry baby. He had decided to change targets. during lunch, Alson hollered, "Give me all your money!" The boy Gave him all his money."$2.50!!??HOW IS THAT ENOUGH!?"Alson punched him in the stomach. He nearly puked.He gave him another punch. Tears flowed down his cheeks like beads from a broken necklace. "stop it Please!"

"Then pay up!!"

"Okay, okay. Tomorrow! please!"

"You Better! Or else......"

Alson always tries to act cool and he like to bully others.On the other hand, Ryan, is just his sidekick.

Our form teacher, Mr Lee, witnessed the incident and ask me," Why did you not tell me about this?" I was speechless and did not want to say anything.

Two days later, I saw Alson Bulling the Boy again. I had a dillimma . Should I tell Mr Lee or should I keep quiet? I went to tell Mr Lee about iy

  Jenny and Ginny used to be best of friends , until Ginny had told Jenny her secret and told her not to tell anyone. However. Jenny unexpectedly betrayed Ginny as she exposed all of Ginny’s secrets. Ginny never once in her life expected that to happen as they had been best friends since young. Bullying was an understatement to describe what Ginny was feeling. Chainmail and gossip were what had happened to Ginny. Ginny

Emma had known Tiffany since they were ten. They were the best of friends, they would always cared for each other and went through thick and thin. As time pasted by, Emma was better at everything than Tiffany. She got jealous of Emma getting good grades so Tiffany joined the cool gang as Tiffany is now always whispering behind her back.

Emma is a very kind and timid girl, all of her subject teachers liked her and she is also a class monitor. Tiffany, is very mean and tall, her grades was very poor, she wore a pair of shady glasses and she liked to always wear a shiny necklace . Ellie was a nerdy person, she liked to read books and listen to music.

"I WILL KILL YOU!"

"SHUT IT!"

Tiffany pushed Emma over the table. Her gang stepped on her shoe. As a prefect saw this, he said "Are you hurt?" Emma had no reaction but tears dropping out from her eyes. Emma went back to her class. Tiffany laughed with her gang and replied " Spoiled little brat." Ellie could not stand it as she saw everything .

Ellie had no choice but to tell the principle, Mdm Lim. She was shocked and frustrated too. Tiffany was trembling to death.

"Hey Emma, are you ok?" But she did not answer Mdm Lim's question. Emma ran to Ellie a big hug. The teacher, Mr Lee, had to call Tiffany and her gang's parents. Ellie finally smiled happily like she had not do it in a while. Emma and Ellie would never forget about this moment!

" Jessica! Look! The dork is here!" Mackenzie snickered as she jabbed a finger towards me. "why, why always me?" I thought. Jessica, Mackenzie and I used to be classmates from Primary one to four but we are now in different classed. I thought this would be over but that was not all.

       A year ago on my birthday

   "Hm? What's this?" It was a Friday afternoon and I was just loitering around the void deck a stone throw's away from my house when I suddenly got a notification on my phone. It was from an anonymous user sending death threats to me. I did not care less and took it with a pinch of salt. I thought as long as I ignored it, the user would get bored and soon find another target to harass.

A few days later, I checked my email for any new emails. To my horror, I saw countless new emails, all from the same anonymous user. This time, the emails had a few photos attached to the emails. As I saw each of the photo, my heart nearly stopped. I trembled in fear, a cold chill went down my spine, causing the nape of my neck to tingle. There were butterflies fluttering uncontrollably and cold sweat trickled down my cheek. I refused to believe it, " W-w-hat?" I stuttered. I was fraught with fear and disbelief. My home address and pictures of where I live were displayed on the image. I rubbed my eyes to check if they were deceiving me. The thought of a stalker following me wherever I went kept me awake whole night. The emails kept on flowing in and the user even managed to get my phone number. During school, I was always feeling fearful and anxious and would constantly be in a trance. I would have sleepless nights almost everyday. The death threats and rude messages scarred me and I was traumatized, possibly forever. I looked in the mirror and saw my reflection, tears rolled down my cheeks like pearls dropping from a broken necklace.

My palish-grey hair was one very unique and uncommon hair colour made me the center of attention. This popularity came with one major downside, many envied me and would often bully me.- Though bad, this was far worse. I got myself together, wiped off my tears using the back of my hand. My parents wanted me to be an outstanding student, a prodigy in the academic world. Deep down in my heart, I wanted to retaliate and explain that no one was perfect, but what could a little kid do? After all, they were my parents and I wanted to be a filial child.

Suddenly someone came in the girl’s washroom, it was my best friend Ava! I waved to her ecstatically. Seeing one of my closest friends and the main source of my happiness  made my day slightly happier and more optimistic. I accidentally caught a glimpse of the phone she was holding and my whole world came crashing down. I did not know how to feel at that point in time. I was sad, angry , disappointed all at once. “AVA!” I hollered loudly, the echo of my voice filled the washroom and it soon went quiet. Ava looked at me and immediately knew she was in hot soup. I dragged her to the Principal’s office, her feet trudging reluctantly along the path, begging for forgiveness. I vividly explained the situation to the Principal , snatching her phone and showed the emails to the principal. She looked at Ava with disgust and instinctively called Ava’s parents. She finally got the dressing-down she deserved from both her parents and the principal. She was filled with remorse and guilt and ‘sincerely’ apologized to me.

                  To Jane, Mary and her gang were like pesty flies that Jane could not get rid of ,buzzling around her incessantly. It all started out when Jane found a mysterious letter under her table .When she opened it, she stood rooted to the ground with her mouth agape . It wrote "stupid '',''crybaby’ ‘coward''... but the most shocking part was the words at the top. ‘You better bring enough money to school tomorrow or we will punch you from head to toe. '' Looking at that ,a chill ran down her spine and her face turned as white as a sheet.

                     ‘’Hand in your money now!’’ Mary and her gang chortled. Shivering in fear ,Jane took out her wallet and handed in a two-dollar note to Mary.

''What! Only a piece of two-dollar note ! Do you think we are BEGGAR!'' Mary shouted.

Sophie was a transfer student and came from another country. Due to her genes, she had white hair instead of the usual ink-like black hair, and she was hence not able to blend in with others. Nevertheless, her distinctive white hair also made her the center of attention and she also gained many friends, including her best friend, Amy. They had been friends since kindergarten and it seemed that their friendship was impossible to break. That is, until that day, when Amy and Sophie's friendship was broken forever- through cyberbullying.

The next day, Sophie received a letter full of chainmails, such as'' Pass this on and tell everyone how evil Sophie is'' and many other heartbreaking words. Sophi was hurt, she felt as if the whole world hated her. It seemed that even the Gods had no mercy.

These incidents would repeat again and again, each getting even worse. Soon, Sophie became depressed. The only thing comforting her was knowing that her best friend, Amy, would be there for her. Sophie would vent out all her frustration and emotions to Amy, crying her heart out. Amy, in that point of time, seemed to be her supporting pillar when is desperate and lonely situations.

Amy would always supportingly tell Sophie that she would be there for her whenever she was troubled or when she was in need.

However, this time it had crossed the line. On her computer, Sophie received emails of all her classmates using anonymous names talking about how terrible she was. Some even wrote about how much they hated Sophie's whole existence. Sophie was alright but what made her furious was the fact that someone had told everyone about her secret: She had told Amy that her family was poor and that she hoped to have a better life. Enough was enough. Sophie was heartbroken. Fueled by anger, Sophie vowed to find justice for herself.

The next day, Sophie confronted Amy. Sophie was hurt, she had not expected that her childhood friend would have betrayed her. Sophie asked Amy sadly as she summoned all her courage,'' Amy, did you spread the rumors? Please tell me the truth.''

Shocked, Amy smiled at Sophie and hugged her. '' I would never..-'' Sophie believed Amy, until she saw something that made her blood boil: It was Amy's phone, containing all the rumors about her! Sophie was shocked to the core; it turned out that her best friend was the mastermind of all these rumors... It stung, swollen in her heart. Sophie knew she would never recover from it. Betrayal shot from Sophie's back as Sophie felt as if seconds were hours. Sophie felt that she could never recover...

Finally, Sophie recovered from her shock as she ran to the general office, where all lies were exposed. To Sophie, the office seemed like a court where the guilty were put to justice. Sophie showed the principal the evidence and the principal swiftly punished Amy by calling her parents and exposing her misdeeds. Amy frantically claimed that it was all a misunderstanding as she repeatedly apologized and asked for Sophie's forgiveness, and Sophie would always reject them.

Sophie felt as if there was a hole in her heart. Time slowly healed it, but the hole remained there forever. Having learnt her lesson, Sophie vowed never to become a victim of cyberbullying again.

         I saw the new student and I said hi to him. When it was recess, the teacher told me bring him to the canteen and when we arrived at the canteen, we saw John and he went to punch the new student. I asked John to stop very loudly                 

Ping!" My new laptop finally started loading. I yearned for the new " Apple " laptop model to be mine and it finally in my possession. I went onto my favourite online platform and started playing. "Hey, weirdo Gordon, you are so bad at this game! I bet you can't beat my high score..." A certain player in the server named John typed into the chat. I flinched at the rude comment as it was directed at me!

I was a timid boy who often relied on others. I was a typical Prefect, always "perfect" and the "tattle tale" of the class. I had neat, jet-black hair, and was always the teacher's "pet". Nevertheless, the rude comment that was directed at me instantly made me speechless. On the other hand, John was a mean, hostile boy. He had intimidating, beady eyes and tousled, unkempt hair that was beyond the school dress code. John was often reprimanded by teachers as well.

One unfortunate school day, John and I were having our usual recess. We bought our piping hot meal and managed to find a spot at the canteen. Out of the blue, a strong, muscular boy dashed by us. Alas, he accidentally bumped into me. Unfortunately, that caused my bowl filled with delicious soup to go sky-high and landed on John's head.

"Argh! How could you be so careless? Now my head is covered in noodles!" John hollered in anger.

"I-I'm so sorry." I mumbled quietly.

John saw red. He stomped off in hostility. From that day on, the once glue-tight friendship turned into mere ashes.

Suddenly, relisation dawned on me. The comment was written by my good chum, John. I panicked and immediately closed the laptop. He must have known who I was and directed the mean comment at me! I tossed and turned in my bed as the comment made me insomniac. Everybody in my household had turned in, and I was the only one awake, my wide eyes open.

The next day, I decided to stand up to the cyberbullying happening to me. I bravely went back to the online platform. Just like I thought, John was online and he started bullying me again. Unlike last time, I mustered up the courage to stand up to him. “ Hey, look! It’s puny Gordon again!” He personally called me out.

“John, this isn’t right. You shouldn’t bully others as it can cause a deeper impact on them.” I stated bravely.  The whole game went as quiet as a tomb. John was wrecked with guilt and filled with remorse. He gave a moment to think about the mean, insulting insults that he often gave out to me. He managed to type out the word, “Sorry.”  After that, he left the game without saying a thing.  I was proud of my brave act as justice was finally served.

From that day on, I learnt to always stand up to myself. I should have stood up to John sooner. The case of cyberbullying shot me deep

From that day on, I learnt to always stand up to myself. I should have stood up to John sooner. The case of cyberbullying was etched in my mind. The thought of the shocking incident still frightens me, but that doesn't mean that I shouldn't stand up to cyberbullying in the future. As a wise person once said, "Courage is fire, while bullying is smoke."

Jane was a Primary Five girl who had straight hair and wore spectacles. She had a very timid personality and did not have a lot of courage, because of that, the meanest bully of the school, Amy constantly bullies Jane, with the help of her henchmen. Amy was a Primary Five student too, but she had curly hair and did not wear spectacles.

Amy started bullying Jane when both of them first entered the school. Amy thought that Jane was an easy person to bully as she was very timid. Amy would always think of terrible things to do to Jane, and jane would be afraid to tell the teacher about Amy as she was afraid that Amy would bully Jane more. On the other hand, Amy was proud of what she did to Jane and felt like she was superior to everyone.

Recently, Amy's bullying got worse - it did not just involve calling of names anymore.

Amy would tell everyone in Jane's class that she was a bad student and that Jane's classmates should not be Jane's friend anymore. Upon hearing what Amy did, Jane felt heartbroken and became scared of going to school. When Jane went home, she looked very sad, and fortunately, Jane's mother noticed. Jane's mother noticed something off about Jane. " Are you okay Jane? What happened?" Jane's mother asked.

Jane had no choice but to tell her mother, " There is this girl in school called Amy and she constantly bullies me. She is always gossiping bad things about me to my best friends! Now, I am friendless." Jane replied with tears rolling down her cheeks. Jane's mother comforted Jane and asked her to stop the bullies from bullying. Jane nodded and thanked her mother.

The next day, Amy and her henchmen went up to Jane to make fun of her. " Oh my, Jane! You have such bad fashion sense! What in the world are you wearing? Clothes for a beggar?" Amy and her henchmen laughed in an evil way. They continued talking bad about Jane, until finally, Jane could not take it anymore. Jane clenched her fists angrily and shouted, " Amy! Stop bullying me! I don't like it! Amy was stunned, but after a while said, " What will you do if I didn't?'' " Do you know how much pain you have given me? Do you even know how it feels like to be bullied?" Jane shouted back. At this moment, Amy felt like what she did was wrong. Amy knew what it was like to be bullied. She knew it was not a good feeling to be bullied. Amy also realised that she should not bully others as it is a terrible thing to do. She went up to Jane and said, '' I'm sorry Jane, I know I am in the wrong. The words you said just now left a deep impression on me. Yes, I know how its like to be bullied, and it is not a good feeling. Do...do you...think we could...become friends?

Jane smiled, ''Its good that you know that you were wrong, and I don't blame you for bullying me. I know you were doing it out of anger. I forgive you, and I would love to be your friend!'' Amy smiled and asked Jane, '' Do you want to sit together during recess? We could play at the field together after eating." Jane quickly responded," I would love to sit with you during recess!" And of course we could play at the field together! By the way, do you know what you want to eat during recess? I have absolutely no idea!" Amy laughed," Ha ha! Me too! What do you think we should eat?" Both Amy and Jane laughed and excitedly discussed about what they were going to eat during recess.......

From that day onwards, both Jane and Amy became the best of friends and never fought with each other. Amy also finally realised that bullying was not something pleasant to do. Even if she(Amy) was bullied before, it did not give her the right to make herself feel better by trying to be superior to everyone by bullying them.

I was in Primary 5 where I assumed the role of a Prefect. I had unkept hair and was very tall. In the bustling canteen, the king of the canteen, James, was towering over a scrawny boy menacingly. His punches and curses could be heard by the teachers, but their feeble attempts to stop James were as if an ant was talking. The notorious bully caught a glimpse of me and rolled his fiery eyes. 

We had once been friends, but I severed ties upon discovering that James had been blackmailing others. I reported to the teacher and our tight bond had been shattered forever. 

James reveled in his physical dominance. What was once a peaceful canteen become a chaotic battlefield. A sharp and piercing howl jolted me from my reverie and the small boy had been knocked out completely! Everyone started to back away slowly. Upon seeing us trying to escape, he charged at us like an angry bull. We were like human bowling pins getting knocked by the terrible bowling ball. I collapsed on the floor with a thud. Blood was flowing out my nose rapidly. I felt a tight grip on the front of my collar. The bully lifted me and pinned me up. I was as pale as a ghost, and I was shivering all over as he lifted his tightly clenched fist. Then, he bellowed angrily, “THIS IS FOR YOUR BETARYAL TO ME!!!!” 

Suddenly, a loud and commanding voice pierced through the cacophony, demanding “Stop it!” My heart swelled with hope as my courageous friend, Kai, was bravely confronting James’ bullying.  

All of a sudden, I felt a sickening punch in the back of my head. The canteen slowly faded away as I thudded against the floor again. As I regained consciousness, I was on a hospital bed and those students who were knocked unconscious were on other beds. Kai, who was blood stained, recounted the events after being knocked out. He had managed to stop James’ assaults, though came out with a ‘souvenir’ that will be etched on his right cheek forever. 

As my classmates were departing from the hospital, James approached me, expressing his sincere apologies for his assaults. His parents had been informed about his bullying acts for the past few years and James was punished severely. The bullying incident showed us that being a courageous up-stander is necessary for us to overcome such bullying incidents. Kai’s braveness had made an impact on all of us, even till this day, that we should always be an up-stander. After the bullying incident, I vowed to prevent history repeat itself. 

Alson and Ryan were my good friends at Primary School. we got to the same school. Alson ,who suddenly grew 10cm taller. Alson and Ryan decided not to be friends with me .I overshadowed them in many different ways. "crash!" Alson flung my bowl of fish ball noodles onto the floor just to entertain Ryan. I was upset and angry. Alson was tall, mean, rude and naughty. Ryan was not so tall, had black Spectacles and short hair.

I went to the hard court and saw Alson crash into a short , tiny boy. the boy cried and Alson called him a cry baby. He had decided to change targets. during lunch, Alson hollered, "Give me all your money!" The boy Gave him all his money."$2.50!!??HOW IS THAT ENOUGH!?"Alson punched him in the stomach. He nearly puked.He gave him another punch. Tears flowed down his cheeks like beads from a broken necklace. "stop it Please!"

"Then pay up!!"

"Okay, okay. Tomorrow! please!"

"You Better! Or else......"

Alson always tries to act cool and he like to bully others.On the other hand, Ryan, is just his sidekick.

Our form teacher, Mr Lee, witnessed the incident and ask me," Why did you not tell me about this?" I was speechless and did not want to say anything.

Two days later, I saw Alson Bulling the Boy again. I had a dilemma . Should I tell Mr Lee or should I keep quiet? I went to tell Mr Lee about Alson bullying others.Mr lee was hot under the collar. He took Alson to our discipline master, Mrs Ching.After that, I helped the boy up."Thank you." the boy muttered.

I later realised that I should Be a upstander earlier and not just keep quiet and just stand there and watch the scene. As the saying goes,"Standing by and doing nothing while a sin is committed is as bad as committing the sin itself." It is better to stop a bully than losing friends. I learnt to be brave and tell the teachers if there is anything serious.I vowed to let history repeat itself.

Alex was skinny as James had been stealing his food. He also had thick glasses, giving James a reason to call him a nerd. James had tattoos all over his arm and gelled his hair even though it was against the school’s dress code. Alex was kind and would help anybody in need and he was the teacher’s pet. He was reliable and always got his tasks done on time. His favourite place was the library as he was a bookworm, giving James another reason to call him a nerd. James enjoyed breaking the rules and would go out of his way to make someone miserable. He liked it when he victims cried - it was like adding fuel to a burning fire. The more Alex thought about it, the more awful he felt because he felt as if even though James was in the wrong, every time he reported James to the teachers, he would have got a harsh punishment, so it was obvious why James hated Alex and began to target him. Alex did not want to tell his parents about James because they would call the Principal and would have got James into trouble. He was scared that James would turn his life into a living hell if he told his parents. James, on the other hand, was not afraid of Alex telling his parents about him as he knew that he could easily force or threaten him not to tell his parents and Alex would have no choice but to obey or he will have to suffer.

After calming down, he walked back to the classroom where he found his teacher lecturing James. When Alex’s classmates noticed him, they gathered around him to offer their apologies for believing James’s rumor about him. Alex’s teacher brought James to the Principal with Alex following close behind. The Principal’s office became the place where everything came to light, where James’s wrong-doings were exposed. After the Principal reprimanded James, he was filled with remorse and apologised sincerely. To Alex’s pleasant surprise, James was genuinely willing to turn over a new leaf. He had stopped misbehaving and they eventually became the best of friends.

Jenny had shared Ginny's secrets on her latest blogpost and posted lies about her on multiple online social media platforms. She wrote nasty remarks on Ginny's latest photos posted on facebook; calling her names and encouraging others to do likewise.

Jenny and Ginny were best of friends since young. Ginny trusted her with all her darkest, deepest secrets and never once imagine that the soft spoken Jenny would betray and hurt her. Jenny has the kindest grey eyes and deep set voice. They would often braid each other's long hair before their weekly basketball practice. Jenny, who is more sporty, often joins competitions and her room is filled with her trophies. While Ginny prefers to spend her free time burying her nose in a book.

When Ginny reached the school gates, everyone was whispering and pointing at her. Ginny was so embarrassed and upset that she wished that the ground would open up and swallow her up. Suddenly, she remembered about the science test that was happening later before recess. She had spend the last two months preparing hard for it and is determined not to let anything distract her from getting a perfect score.

She then saw Jenny and some other girls from the upper grade walking towards her and laughing loudly. "Time to make new friends", Ginny said to herself more determined than ever. She angrily brushed her flaming bright red hair away from her tear-stained face and walked past Jenny with her head held high, paying no heed to Jenny completely. She will not be afraid of her bully. Smiling to herself, "What goes around comes around. For what Jenny did to me, she will have a taste of her own medicine one day!"

                  To Jane, Mary and her gang were like pesty flies that Jane could not get rid of ,buzzling around her incessantly. It all started out when Jane found a mysterious letter under her table .When she opened it, she stood rooted to the ground with her mouth agape . It wrote "stupid '',''crybaby'’ ‘'coward''... but the most shocking part was the words at the top. '‘You better bring enough money to school tomorrow or we will punch you from head to toe. '' Looking at that ,a chill ran down her spine and her face turned as white as a sheet.

                     ‘’Hand in your money now!’’ Mary and her gang chortled. Shivering in fear ,Jane took out her wallet and handed in a two-dollar note to Mary.

''What! Only a piece of two-dollar note ! Do you think we are BEGGAR!'' Mary shouted sarcastically.

''I...I.. really only have two dollars. I... I will never lie to you," Jane mumbled in fear, giving her wallet for Mary to check. Angrily, Mary snatched her wallet and threw it onto the floor with a loud thud. Mary then grabbed her by the collar and threw her onto the ground. Then, Mary and her gang started raining punches on her stomach.

"Ouch! Please stop it!" Jane begged as she moaned in pain. It was so unbearable that tears of pain rolled down her cheeks like a never-ending stream.

"You better bring more money tomorrow or we will punish you more severely," Mary warned. Feeling like a deflated balloon, Jane lumbered home with a heavy heart and thought when she could escape from the cat-and-mouse game, her being the pitiful mouse, always pounce on by Mary the cat. She did not know her woes would be over soon.

The next day, when Jane reached school, she was shocked. Mary and her gang were nowhere to be seen at the gate. Not wanting to be late for school, she then sprinted to her classroom.

Upon reaching the classroom, Jane's teacher informed her that the principal wanted to see her. Feeling nervous, she paced into the principal office. To her shock, she saw Mary and her gang hanging their heads low at the corner. The principal explained that a teacher had passed by and took videos of their bullying act. Then, the principal took a smooth paper and asked them to state all the bad words that they had said to Jane. She crumpled the paper with every word said. Then, she uncrumpled the paper and explained, "Every word you say will remain etched in Jane's heart, it would leave a mark in her heart even if you said sorry." She then asked Mary and her gang to apologise to Jane. They apologised to Jane profusely and promised the principal that they would not bully anyone in the future. The principal even told them if they dared to bully anyone again, they would be immediately expelled from the school. After that, the principal asked Jane to return to class.

Heaving a huge sigh of relief, Jane walked back to class, beaming from ear and ear. She knew that she had finally broke free from the miserable cat-and-mouse game.

From this incident, she had also learnt to be brave and stand up against the bullies. If such a bullying incident happened to her again, she would definitely know what to do. This incident would remain etched in her mind forever.

"Hey! do you want to play video games? I want to play Among Us!" John exclaimed excitedly.

"What a loser! Who likes to play Among Us? Only losers play Among Us! Stay away or I will make your life worse!" Threatened Jack. John did not know that his best friend would bully him.

A few years ago, a new game called Among Us was released and everyone, including Jack and John into a frenzy played with each other everyday and that was how they became best friends. It was until one day when Among Us lost its popularity and everyone started diving towards Roblox. And therefore, everyone was bulling John. As for John, he continued to play despite the game's lost in popularity. Because of this Jack and John's relationship began to fall apart.

Jack had a layer of fats above his huge layer of muscles while John was the typical student you would expect. Jack is a friendly person to his friends but if you were his enemy you would most likely come out bleeding everywhere. John liked to interact with people and chat and that was what made him vulnerable to bullying. Jack was ferocious when John kept on saying that he should play Among Us. John was down in the gutter when everyone refused to play with him.

The following day, John was scrolling through his messages when he noticed that Jack was spamming "Loser" in the chat. Jack also sent other messages like "What a loser! You should stop playing! You are so weird!..." After staring at it for a few minutes, he pinched himself to see if he was dreaming. He could not believe that Jack would say such a thing. He could not stand to think about it, so he decided to read a book to lull his own brain to a glorious state of slumber

Day by day, even more hurtful messages were sent. That was when he decided to tell Mr Shi! "He kept on bullying me and he is'nt stopping anytime soon.Can you please help me?" After hearing that Jack was bullying me, Mr Shi's face turned red with anger and gave him a good dressing down. After a long time, Jack finally got the scolding he deserved.

I had no choice but to tell the teacher about Brock and John and the teacher gave them a tongue-lashing. This time, the bullying just continued and it was even worse because I told the teacher about them when they told me not to or I would be in big trouble but I told the teacher as the bullying was to serious.

Every recess, I would usually sit at the corner of the canteen and was always down in the dumps and no one dared to ask me what had happened to me. When they saw me, they would just pretend I was not there and they would just walk past me as if I was not there.

That day, when I was sitting at the corner of the canteen as usual, Tom, the boy that I saved that time from Brock and John, noticed me sitting at the corner and plucked up the courage to talk to me about what happened but the first time he asked me about it, I ignored him and he thought that I could not hear him and he asked me a second time but I shouted at him to go away at the top of my lungs that drew everybody's attention especially Brock and John's and they immediately walked toward me and I regretted shouting. I tried to make a beeline out of the canteen to the hardcourt but Brock and John caught up with me just when I made it to the hardcourt they grabbed me by my collar and pinned me on the wall and as everybody saw that, they ran of without helping me. Brock and John were punching and cursing at me. I started to cry and on the second punch, and unfortunately for me, a slimy thing came out from my mouth and it landed on Brock's shoe and I could not take it anymore and just when I thought I was going to die as it was too painful, Tom plucked up the courage to be an upstander and told Brock and John to stop and when they were about to punch Tom, the principal and teachers came and they sent me to the general office and when I woke up, I saw Tom sitting beside me and I thanked him but tears trickled down his cheeks and I asked him what had happened and why he was crying and he said he was sorry for not being an upstander earlier but I was still glad that he saved me.

A few minutes later, Brock and John came in and apologised profusely and I forgave them and we became friends and we were never bullied again.

As least school is a bit better than at home ,in kindergarten all the girls will play with their toys dolls and draw rainbows while the all boys will play their toys cars and draw animals and I was the only one sitting in a cozy corner solving math equations . The teachers were impressed by my knowledge and decided to moved me up to grade 3.When I was only ten can you believe that ? Not only everyone were older and staring at me , my worse nightmare have come true. Grace was in my class as she fail her grade 3 exam last year ,this mean is another started of another new hell which mean she going to bully me more than ever.

Every time she saw me in school she start to pick on me, like for an example she will dunk a pail water on my head ,throw my bag in the dustbin and stick gum under my desk "Yuck!" She and her best friend Jane will laugh at me like crazy, but at home she is even worst she will treat me like her personal maid or

Cinderella as she keep ordering around ,this bullying has been going on days and those turned into weeks and those weeks turned into months . Day by day, I felt depressed and pressure ,I tried to keep it in but in my bed

room I would cried my heart out .

One night , I went to the garden to clear my head from all this drama, suddenly I saw a window leading to Grace room so I decided to take peek ,I mean like a little peek won't hurt, right? through her window then I saw her acting as Juliet from the movie Romeo and Juliet in fronted of the TV I secretly took a video of her and post online, I whispered underneath my breath "now she will experience what is like being bullying at school, hahaha" .That video spread like wild fire in school, starting from then on ,Grace was a laughing stock ,even Jane is avoiding her. Jane started to gossip about Grace like, " look at her ,she looks like a dying bird trying to recite the lines." or "OMG! Girl she smell like rotten eggs it's so disgusting" than she started throwing rotten eggs at her "take that! you idiot !" Sometimes ,Grace will come back bruises on her arms and legs .Every time I asked what happened to her she always replied in gloomy voice "none of your business." with a sighed . I thought I will be happy seeing her being bullied but it has been a huge burden to my heart , watching her getting bullied everyday is like somebody who punch me in the gut .

After days of thinking I decided to come cleaned to Grace ,when I step into her room I saw her sobbing and it broke my heart to see her like that ,when Grace spotted me she quickly wiped away her tears and questioned me "what do you want ?" I sat on her bed and told what I did I thought she will ripped out my hair, hopefully it will be quick but instead she sat closer to me and I was astonished . She took a deep breath and calmly said " I get why you did that I wasn't the best bonding with you . Do you think that we can start over?" than she gave me the warmest hug that I have never felt after dad left . Starting from than on I vowed to myself never let history repeat itself ever again . So what have you learnt in today's story ?

Tess shouted, " Stop interfering with other people's businesses and mind your own!" Tess stormed off to her hideout afterwards. "The reason is just that our style is different. It's that simple. I'm so done with these people. Should I tell my parents but they are already so busy with work and I don't want them to worry. Tess thought.

After she felt better, she went back to class but a teacher saw her and told her to go to the principal's office. Tess hesitantly nodded her head as she knew what was going to happen. When she reached the principal's office, the principal, Mr Lim said, " Why do you always skip class?

Tess replied, " I needed some alone time, away from people that can't accept my type of style." Mr Lim asked " It's Mary who started the bullying, right? " Tess replied, " Yes! How did you know? "

Mr Lim replied angrily, " It has happened multiple times already. The teachers had always told me not to get involved but, I have had enough of her. I will deal with her tomorrow, first thing in the morning. For now go back to class." After walking out of the office, she felt like she could finally have freedom and would not be bullied when she enters the school.

The next day, after assembly, Mary was called to see Mr Lim. Mary entered Mr Lim's office and asked, " You wanted to see me? "

Mr Lim replied with a stern voice, " Yes. If I did not want to then why would I have called you in? " Mary knew she was in trouble. She did not want to stop making Tess's life a living hell so she tried getting out of trouble but to her surprise, Mr Lim did not fall for it. Once she got reprimanded by Mr Lim she sincerely apologised to Tess and all the people that she had bullied. After that day, Mary stopped bullying anyone and even started talking to Tess.

"Jessica! Look the dork is here!" Mackenzie sniggered as she jabbed a finger towards me. " Why, why always me?" I thought. Mackenzie, Jessica and I used to be class mates from Primary one to four but we are now in different classes. I thought this would be over but that was not all. They are always trying to find ways to bully me. Fortunately for me, most of the time, the pranks would backfire. Mackenzie and Jessica had flawless complexion as for me, I had pimples all over my face , super thick glasses, had my hair tied in braids and braces worn on my teeth which Mackenzie and Jessica always made fun of.

Upon reaching the Principal's office, Mr Lim, the Principal began questioning me how Mackenzie and Jessica had been bullying me. After answering his questions, he then asked me to head back to class while he lecture Mackenzie and Jessica. While I was strolling back to class this horrible sight made me remember something unpleasant.

A small petit young boy was being threatened by a chubby boy a few years younger than me.

"Give me all your money or you will be sorry!" he bellowed, flexing his muscles.

"I...I forgot to..to bring my...money..." The poor young boy stammered nervously while hot tears came streaming down his face.

"WHAT! YOU WILL PAY FOR IT!" He shouted, clenching his fist, ready to strike a punch.

"Hey! Stop what you are doing or I will report it to a teacher! " I said holding the bully's chubby hand tightly, causing his hand to avoid the little boy's face. Terrified, the bully muttered an apology to me and the skinny boy before running away in fright.

"Wow! Big sis your so brave! Thank you for standing up for me! I will never forget what you did!" He said with sparkles in his eyes before embracing me into a bear hug and running away towards the canteen. Smiling and waving to the small boy, I walked back to my class to continue m lesson.

When I was back to class, I found it so hard to concentrate on fractions and angles as my mind was on something that happened on my birthday last year...

A year ago on my birthday, it was recess time and I ordered a tray full of food containing a tofu burger, some waffle fries and a chilled bottle of Mountains Perk spring water. As I was heading towards my usual spot beside the trash bin where I sat alone. The only way to get to that table was to walk by Mackenzie and her friends' lunch table, sneaky Mackenzie stuck out her foot intentionally for me to trip over it. Unfortunately, I was oblivious to the surroundings and tripped over her leg! "Aaaah!" I screamed as i dropped my tray of food. Splash! My bottled water splashed onto my face. The mayo on my burger stained my shirt. "Haha!" Mackenzie cackled," Oh my God! It is too funny for me to watch! Have a great lunch!" Mackenzie snarled. Humiliated, I quickly took my tray and threw all my food in the food bin and rushed to the bathroom to lock myself in there for the whole thirty minutes of recess.

Ring! Ring! The school bell rang loudly, causing me to zoom out from my flash back. Packing my things, I slowly made my way put of school to make my way to my tuition class.

The day passed by with a blink of an eye and soon, it was be time. Laying down on my bed, I reflected on my actions today and slowly drifted off to wonderland.

Even though that incident happened a year ago, i know those thirty minutes int eh toilet will always be etched in my mind. I hope that Mackenzie, Jessica and the cubby boy who bullied the young little boy will not history repeat itself and not bully others. I learnt that courage was indeed not eh absence of fear, but to triumph over it.

          Carol and Jane used to be best friends. One day, Carol was jealous and decided to bully Jane and take revenge on her since she beat Carol in every subject, from math to English, from science to Chinese. Hence, every day during recess, Jane had to give all her money to Carol. Carol wanted to be in the spotlight ant the top student in the school, and she thought that bullying Carol will make her become the top student.

                  “So little? You better give me more you scrawny little girl!” Carol threatened menacingly.

                  “This is all I have; you took the rest yesterday.” Jane sobbed

                  “Argh! Argh!” Carol punched Jane in her stomach. Everyone in the canteen backed away. They did not want to be Carol next target.

                  “Fine! I will let you off this time! you better pay the money or else I will be so nice!” Carol sneered at Jane.  Since young, Carol had a very tall and strong physique and could easily establish control over the weak and skinny Jane.

                  Compared to Jane, Carol was a lot louder. Carol was the most famous bully in the school; no one dared to disobey her. Jane was quiet and shy and did not dare to tell anyone about the bully accept her best friend, Clarrisa and the bullying was not stopped.

                 One day, during recess, Jane thought happily I have not seen Carol for half of the day , maybe she is absent, at least Carol wont bully me! Just as she went to queue for food, a loud thunderous voice startled her.

                  “Jane, come here now!” Carol slammed the canteen table.

                “Ha! Don’t try to hide from me! It is too late; I saw you already!” carol smirked as she dragged Jane out of the queue.

                   “Where is the money! Don’t think I’ll will let you off today like I will let you off yesterday!” Carol exclaimed furiously. Jane scans her surroundings hoping that someone would lend her money or stop the bullying but all the students pretend they did not see anything.

                    “I don’t have any money.” Jane trembled in fear. Carol barged towards Jane and punched her. Blood was oozing out of Jane’s arm as she cried. Carol stomped away to find another target to bully.

                   “I wish Carol was dead, she is such a bully. Wait till one day a teacher catch you bullying me.” Jane mumbled to herself, not knowing Carol overheard her mumbling.

                   “How dare you badmouth me!” Carol shouted angrily. Boiling with rage, Carol punched her in the stomach.

                 “STOP IT!” A loud and firm voice echoed as the teacher who is on duty, Ms Tan, ran into the canteen with my best friend, Clarrisa. Carol was trembling and her face turned as white as a paper and realised that she would been in deep troubled.

                  After Ms Tan gave a tongue- lashing to Carol, she apologised to Jane profusely and promised that she would not bully anyone again and turn over a new leaf.

                  Although, more apologies came, but they could not repair the damage. I was also determined to emerge stronger from this and not let bullying defeat me or scar me forever.

After that, I stopped trying to fight back to the merciless bullying. One day, I saw a chain letter that read,”Alex is a dumb N*****!” When I saw that letter, I had a slight difference in my thoughts.I was not going to back down.Just as Mr Ryan had always reminded us ,”Never give up Never what?”

The very next day, I formed my plan to take down Jack and his empire of Bullying once and for all. I knew that it was a weak plan, but, I can never ever say that if I had not tried it out before.That day, I went up to Jack and uttered out an apology “ Im sorry……” When Jack heard that, I thought his expression softened a little. He then hollered like a madman” SORRY?SORRY FOR WHAT NERD!!!” Although I was scared stiff , I plucked up all courage that I had lost over the years when I was bullied.

The next day while it was lunch break in school, I bought my noodles from my favorite stall and as I was walking to my seat, Chloe bumped into me. The noodles and soup spilled all onto Chloe.

"Please forgive me, I’m so sorry!"

Chloe rolled her eyes and shouted: OH, YOU THINK SAYING SORRY AND GOING TO MAKE ME FORGIVE YOU? GIVE ME ALL YOUR MONEY, OR ELSE!" I refused.

Suddenly, I felt a huge blow on my stomach. Chloe, after hitting me, dragged me to a dark corner and started to continue to hit and punch me.

After Chloe stopped, recess was already over, I told the teacher about the bullying incident. The teacher reprimanded Chloe and she was suspended. After the scolding Chloe never bullied me again.

  “JOHNNY”my mother echoed through the hall way “ARE YOU PRETENDING TO BE ILL!” I was in trouble thousands of thoughts raced trough my mind, how did she find out? did I do something wrong? I did not want to go to school since I was getting bullied.

  When I got to school James the bully was already there and was waiting for me to come so that he could bully me.  When I got out of the bus I sprinted away from James, but unfortunately I was not fast enough and he caught me easily with one hand he then lifted me up by my T-shirt just when he was going to punch me the bell rang and it was time for class I was so lucky that the bell rang it saved my life.

  After class I went to recess quickly to avoid James but was to no avail he had beaten me and was already there I felt so defeated that I felt like crying but if I was to cry I would have already lose the battle the reason why he targeted me was because we once was friends but that all changed when one day I found out that James was bullying people online and once I found out I told the teacher and our bond was broken.

When he was just about to hit me a teacher walked past him and saw what was happening the teacher quickly told James to stop but he did not listen he punched and knocked me unconscious when I woke up I was on a hospital bed and the doctor told me everything that happened and that after I got knocked down the teacher told the principal of the school and James got suspended from school for a few days but the teacher got a permanent scar in return.

After I recovered I thanked the teacher for helping me and went home.

During recess, Jane was asking for my lunch money I reluctantly gave my lunch money to Jane and she shouted at me saying “DO YOU THINK THIS IS ENOUGH MONEY!!!!,IT’S ONLY 1.20!!!. I will continue bullying you until you give me the money.

She kicked me demanding more money ,she then said “you better have the money tomorrow or else…

My soul was scared out of the living hell but I knew I had to stop this madness so the next day, I told my teacher about the bullying and Jane had detention for 3 days and Jane never bullied anyone again.

I was primary three when this happened. I was then a prefect in Red Swastika School. I was very timid, weak and tiny in size, I was bullied by almost everyone. Sometimes, it would be more severe than i could ever thought it could be but this time there was an incident that was the most severe situation I had witness before.

    “This guy is so weak, I bet I could beat him up easily,” said teased the bully whom everyone feared. He went by the name ’the feared rocky’. During recess, He would slam every table that comes in his way wanting either all their food or their food money. Everyone would be so scared even if he is coming near your table.no teacher or principle had the guts to expel him as his father is the president of Singapore.

“Ring!Ring!Ring!”the bell for recess rang.I sat with my friend,Bob.I knew Bob since kindergarten and we had been the best of friends for years.Suddenly, the huge muscular Rocky appeared from behind and was walking towards our table.When he reached our table, he slammed the table hard,Bob and I recoiled in fear.Rocky asked angrily,”give me money!”Since this was thee first time encountering this kind of situation,I kept quiet not knowing Rocky would be even more angry.”How dare you keep quiet and not give me money!”He then grabbed me by the neck and threw me to the floor.He saw I was still conscious and hit me hard in the stomach and I spat out blood.He then gave me one final punch to the head and I dropped down to the floor.Luckily, someone saw this and called the ambulance.I went straight to the E.R. and found out I had some broken bones and it would take years to recover.

Rocky after knowing my injuries, felt bad and said sorry to me and vowed to turned over a new leaf and to never bully anyone again.

Just then,Alex stomped towards me.

“Give me you lunch money” He uttered.

“That’s so American…” I thought. Alex was starting to get pissed of. I knew I had to do something before he hits me,he was known as a physical bully anyway. Alex got impatient and in the nick of time,he punched my face. “I SAID GIVE ME YOUR LUNCH MONEY” he screamed at the top of his lungs. However, the loud scream attracted many unwanted attention. Mrs Tan, the Discipline master charged towards Alex. “BULLYING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED,WHAT IS YOUR CLASS!?” Mrs Tan yelled furiously.

“5-5 Generosity…” Alex mumbled in a weak voice.

“You two, follow me to the general office,NOW” Mrs Tan instructed. We followed Mrs Tan to the General Office ,My heart was beating as fast as a bullet train. We entered the general office and sat down. “Well then Alex I will be calling your parents…” Mrs Tan told Alex in a disappointed voice before turning her head to me, “Are you okay?” I nod my head. Mrs Tan called Alex’s parents and hung up.”Alex could you apologise to the person you bullied?” Mrs Tan asked Alex kindly. “I’m sorry for punching you…” Alex apologised to me to me sincerely,as red as a tomato.

The next day when I returned to school I saw Alex with a wide smile. My mind raced with thoughts ‘is he going to hit me? Does he want revenge?’

“Hey um…Derek I’m sorry about yesterday..” He told me. I was startled but forgave him, “it’s okay,everyone makes mistake,wanna start over as friends?” “HECK YEA! He cheered.

Maybe we will even become best friends,who knows? Honestly ,what I learnt from this was that not all bullies are bad, no one is born evil.

When she got to school she got to school she immediately got bullied by bullies “look at the great loser wha a simp.” “Yea” the second bully replied. Olivia heard what they said although she felt sad she did not bother. During her recess she bought some snacks and sat down and ate,she expected to be bullied but no they just wanted to enjoy recess.

After recess, the bullies continued to bully Olivia. Olivia sobbed helplessly of all the bullying. No matter how much she try to reson with them and how she told the teacher,friends,parents,and school counselor,the bullying never ends.

Instead of telling the teacher she used violence against the bullies which little did she know that violence will get her into more trouble.

She went to go punch the bullies in the face with a mighty smack which caused her to blead

Suddenly,Mrs Tan, my form teacher ,rushed in and enquired ‘John, are you are you alright? It’s okay you can tell me what happened.’ At that moment, painful memories were pulled back into my mind.

My heart rate was low, breath was slow and wheezy. A voice appeared, trying to control my mind by slipping through it like a wave of magma. ‘Why are you still standing there? Bully them back!’

I hated the bullies, especially George, the ring leader. Every time they gave me shoves, pushes any taunts, I always had to lie about them to whoever ask me. ‘I fell down,’ ‘I was just training’

I always tried so hard to ignore those bullies, darting away every time they walked pass, but somehow they always seemed to find me. I always tried to tell the teachers, but those words always seemed anchored to my mouth. I was subdued by the taunts of the bullies and the sadness that engulfed me.I dashed towards the toilet and locked the doors of a cubicle. All I could do was blink back my tears and hope that the bullies would not find me.

Once I was sure those bullies were gone, I exited the cubicle. I stumbled to the ground screaming in pain, anger and misery. Why was I being bullied for being myself? The voice now a cannonball, smashing the walls of my mind, laughing all evil-like, taking full control of my mind.

‘Come out of the shadows,

A thousand thoughts raced through my mind, the more I thought, my conscience got the better of me. I had experienced the hurt, so why not others? I knew it was immoral to hurt him in return. So I decided not to get revenge. The voice was now reduced to the from of a wounded animal.

"John? John" Mrs Tan pushed me back out of my memories. I then finally mustered my courage and blurted out everything that happened.

"And that's what happened!' As soon as I finished recounting what had happened, I felt as ifa huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders.

through this incident, I feel that we should let adults handle the bullying, and be an upstander and help others when they are being bullied.

“I don’t want to go to school !” Olivia wined “why not ?” Mother asked “I keep on getting bullied !” Olivia explained. Even though she explained mother still sent her to school.

When she got to school she got to school she immediately got bullied by bullies “look at the great loser what a simp.” “Yea” the second bully replied. Olivia heard what they said although she felt sad she did not bother. During her recess she bought some snacks and sat down and ate,she expected to be bullied but no they just wanted to enjoy recess.

After recess, the bullies continued to bully Olivia. Olivia sobbed helplessly of all the bullying. No matter how much she try to reason with them and how she told the teacher,friends,parents,and school counselor,the bullying never ends.

Instead of telling the teacher she used violence against the bullies which little did she know that violence will get her into more trouble.

She went to go punch the bullies in the face with a mighty smack which caused her to blead profusely when she angered the bullies, they returned the punch even stronger. The the teacher saw what was happening she scolded the bullies telling their parents about the situation in school. Warned the bullies that if they don't stop bulling they will get expelled from school.

Thus the bullies discontinued bulling any one in school and Olivia felt safer in school.

Sophie hesitantly questioned Amy,'' Amy, were you the one that spread the rumors?'' Amy, in a state of shock, immediately convinced Sophie that she did not and gave Sophie a hug. Sophie believed her until she saw something that made her furious. On Amy's phone was evidence that Amy had posted all those rumors! Appalled, Sophie felt that the betrayal of her only friend that had been with her for so long stung, and that it would remain forever etched in her mind. Sophie was livid, not just angry but also shocked. She rubbed her eyes, not daring to believe the scene that she had just witnessed. She was heartbroken; how could her childhood friend have betrayed her... She took a picture of the evidence and marched straight to the general office for justice as Amy followed behind, apologies tumbling out of her mouth like an avalanche.

After that conversation, Jack and I both smiled at each other, like two long lost brothers meeting up with each other again.After a few weeks, everything returned to how It was like except that Jack did not bully me anymore. In fact, we became best friends again!.

After this incident,I learnt that everyone can change, even if they scar people and hurt people by bullying, using words and actions to make people miserable. Furthermore, I learnt that I should never judge a book by its cover. Actions speak louder than words, even though I was once a victim to bullying, this incident has made make up my mind that I will strengthen myself, physically and mentally to make sure that I never get scared by bullying again.
