That Bully

Shelly went to high school. She didn't have many friends, and she was shy. OK. Maybe she was a little weird and maybe nerdy. She wasn't part of the "Cool Group". The cool girls made fun of her and called her bad names. Those words stuck to her like a scar. She dropped out of school because she didn't want to be made fun of. But after a month, her parents made her go back to school. When she got there, everyone stared at her, watching her walk by. She went to her locker and found out that it wasn't hers anymore. Then the new girl walked up and said,"That's my locker." Shelly foolishly walked away when the girl came running after her. "Wait!" she called. Shelly didn't turn around until she came running by her side. Shelly kept her head down. "I've heard all about you Shelly!" She said. "How do you know my name?" she yelled. "Um....Uh.....Well....Everyone told me about you and showed me a picture of you. They told me how awsome you are." She replied. "Me?" Shelly asked. "UH...Ya!" The girl said."I'm Virginia. I'm from Virginia and that's my name. I want to be your friend." "Me?" Shelly asked. "Yes, you. I want to put you in the talent show. Me and you. We can show them how cool we are and not to make fun of people." Virginia said. They worked all the next day.And all week. And all month, until finally it was the day. And their turn. They got up there and showed everyone what they could do. They won the Talent show, and were so good, they went on TV! They happened to be the most popular girls in the school. When the Cool Group asked them to be in their group, they refused. They invited all the kids that were left out from everything. The Cool Group was now no longer cool. They were now the least popular kids. Now they found out what it feels like.

Your lesson is to never bully. I made up this story, but I'm sure this happens alot. If you are being bullied, just stand up for yourself and other kids who are being bullied, for what you are. Stand up for yourself. You are what God made you. Everyone is cool. Everyone is in the Cool Group. Just Believe!
