What is bullying? Well, bullying is when you either physically hurt someone or when you mentally hurt someone. Mentally hurting someone is when you call someone names or you tease them or you call them a bad words. Physically bullying someone is when you push, pinch, poke, pull, punch, kick or hit, etc. Why shouldn't you bully other people? You shouldn't bully people because it makes the person feel bad and it makes you look bad and mean in front of everyone. When you bully someone physically, for example if you push someone of their bike or punch someone in the nose it will probably show that you did it and you get the blame for doing it.
There once was a new kid at my school and she didn't know anyone and she was really short. On her first day of school these tall girls took one look at her and they started to laugh for such a long time really loud making the new girl feel embarrassed. The next day they walked up to her and they started to call her shortie. They kept on calling her shortie the whole day in her ear and she was sick on tired of that word so she said "stop." They looked at her and said it acouple more times so she asked them to stop again but they didn't and they walked by her and yelled shortie and knocked her books on the floor. She went to go tell a teacher. The teacher told them to stop but they only pretended like they did so that same day at lunch they said shortie in her ear again really loud. She couldn't stand it so I said...................."hey pick on someone your ow size. Leave her alone she is new and I think that you should say sorry or else I will tell the principal." They quickly said sorry to the new girl and then they ran away. We were best friends after that.
I learned a lesson and that lesson was that if you bully people you won't get a lot of friends. What do you do if you are being bullied? The first thing that you should do when you are being bullied is to walk away. If they do it again say "STOP." The 3rd thing that you should do is tell someone. One thing you should never do is bully back because then you are just as bad as the bully. These are all the things that you should do if you are bullied. Remember don't bully people it isn't cool.

The Time When I Showed Courage
Everyone has a time is their life when they have shown courage. To me, courage is bravery or when you know what you are afraid of and you have to face that fear. When I was in America, I found out that my friends had been going somewhere after school on Friday. I had been wanting to find out for days until they finally told me what they were doing. They were cheer leading.
They asked me to join the team, so I thought a while, and then the next Friday I went to a cheer leading practice. Everyone was nice. But then it started to get serious and I got the cheer leading outfit and we had to practice routines a lot. We were cheerleaders for the Bob Cats and we did cheer leading everywhere. Soon after it started, my friends quit the team. I don't know why, but they did. Me and my sister were now in cheer leading without our friends. Then, the real thing happened.....we had to compete with other teams and I was so nervous.
As soon as I got there I could barely breathe. Everyone was there. The whole stadium was full, so full that people had to get 20 more seats until people couldn't fit in the stadium anymore. This was the real thing. As soon as we got on the stage we all looked at each other because we didn't know where to go. When we got in our positions we performed the routine that we had practiced. I was so proud of myself. After the dance, I threw up in the bathroom because I was so nervous. I feel sorry for my friends because they shouldn't have quit because guess what........... WE WON FIRST PLACE! I was really proud of myself. I had learned a big lesson and my friends helped me. That lesson was never quit. Quiting is for losers. That is so true.
This was a time when I showed courage. I decided to stick with the team until the season was over and not to stop going to practice because my friends had quit the team. I learned to cheer lead and found out I was not only good at it - but my team came in first place in the regional competition. While it took a lot of courage to keep going to practices without my friends support, I learned that I can do things on my own and that I don't have to the same things they do all the time. This is was a valuable lesson.
