Zorbalık-Rıfat Batur

If you really think a bully is a fish, you must also believe that our classroom is an aquarium. However, Okan is not even close to being a fish with a tassel and a tail – he’s just a bully, who’s too big for me. But, I’m as thin as a toothpick. Even a feather pillow is enough to beat me down. My mother won’t let me go outside when it is windy. She says that she is afraid because I would fly away. Do not think that I am complaining about this; on the contrary, I am very happy about it. I just want to get rid of Okan, the bully, who got my eyes black, pulled my dress, called me names a and then said “I was just kidding. It was an accident.” Maybe I don’t need strong biceps to get rid of bullying. There must be a solution, don’t you think so? ARE YOU READY TO FIGHT BULLYING?
