“You’re a bully, even if you don’t participate.” That’s what people say. So me watching her being taunted and teased makes me as bad as the as the rest. Why do they attack her? Maybe it’s because she has no particular group but probably because she’s different. She’s quiet, shy and intelligent, with greasy hair, thick-rimmed glasses and clog-like shoes. She doesn’t stand up for herself or retaliate, and that makes it worse. The taunts get louder and the teasing gets meaner, their words sharp as knives that cut and scar. I should help, but I don’t.
