Story:

Lena and Maya were walking home from school together, chatting and laughing. As they turned the corner, they saw their classmate, Ben, sitting alone on the curb with his head down. Two older kids were standing nearby, pointing at him and shouting “HA! HA!” in loud, mocking voices. Lena and Maya could see that Ben was upset — his face was red, and he looked like he was about to cry. The bullies weren’t touching him, but their laughter and cruel words were hurting him just as much. Lena felt angry and sad. She knew this wasn’t funny — it was bullying. She whispered to Maya, “We have to help.” They walked over, stood beside Ben, and told the bullies to stop. Then they asked Ben if he wanted to walk home with them. He nodded quietly, and together, the three of them walked away, leaving the bullies behind.

Answers to the Questions:

1. What kind of bullying do you think the pictures depict?
This is *verbal bullying*. The bullies are using mean words and laughter to hurt the victim emotionally, even though they aren’t physically touching him. This type of bullying can make someone feel embarrassed, scared, or worthless.

2. What action should the victim take?
The victim should try to stay calm, walk away if possible, and tell a trusted adult (like a teacher, parent, or counselor) what happened. It’s important not to keep it a secret — adults can help stop the bullying and support the victim.

3. What action did the bullies take to show it was bullying?
The bullies laughed loudly (“HA! HA!”) while looking at the victim, who was clearly upset. Their actions were meant to humiliate and embarrass him. Laughing at someone when they’re sad or vulnerable is a form of emotional abuse — that’s bullying.

4. You happen to pass by the situation. What would you do?
I would step in safely — maybe by walking up to the victim and saying, “Hey, let’s go,” to show support. I could also report what I saw to a teacher or adult right away. If I’m afraid to confront the bullies directly, I can still help by being a friend to the victim and letting an adult know what happened. Standing up for others helps stop bullying.

✔ Note for students: This worksheet teaches us that bullying isn’t always physical — words and laughter can hurt too. Being kind, speaking up, and asking for help are brave and important things to do.
