World Bullying Prevention Day

I remember being a sixth-grader and lining up in the gym for our next class, and for some unknown reason one girl in the line began cruelly berating another girl, insulting her looks, hair, and clothing. The other girl didn’t cry, but she was obviously humiliated and wanted to disappear. The bully didn’t let up, but continued browbeating the girl. I stood in line, sort of terrified but also transfixed by this threatening girl and her cowering victim. I didn’t want to be next, so I stood there quietly.
