One time when I was a kid, I was around 5, and it was at my daycare, there was this boy named Jimmy and I guess he didn’t understand English very well and didn’t know how to communicate with a teacher or student. He would bite other kids and make a really big and painful mark on their hand or wrist. One day he was about to bite my friend and I went up to him and gave him such a big scratch under his eye, that it would most probably make a scar. Later the next morning the mother kept on asking all the parents who had boys, and not the parents who had girls since she thought a girl couldn’t do that much damage to his eye.
Last year in elementary school I was hanging out with some friends and they started talking bad about a friend of mine that I've known for a much longer time than I've known them. I simply said "can you guys stop talking bad about him, first of all your completely wrong with what your saying and second, you don't know him like I do." After that I felt good about myself for sticking up for a friend that has certainly has stuck up for me too. A lot of other times I wouldn't say anything because I was shy, but that time I just had to stick up him.
A few years ago, there was a girl in my grade that would always get picked on. I never understood why nobody liked her, she was extremely nice, but I guess nobody got to know her enough to see her real personality. One day, a group of kids were calling her names and chassing her. It was so hard to watch how terribly they treated her. I knew this wasn't right, I ran up to the group of kids and told them to stop being mean. Then I went up to the poor girl and asked her if she wanted to hang out with me, she said yes and we became good friends. People are treating her a lot better and she has a lot of nice friends.
It was a few years ago, my friends and I were all hanging out. My friends started saying bad stuff about one of my friends that they barely even knew. I was thinking the whole time as they were talking "I can't let them talk like this about them." So I interrupted them and I said "First he is my friend and you guys barely even talk or even know him so you should probably think twice next time you talk and second, I've talked to him and asked about this stuff that is apparently "true" to you guys, he told me it's fake, stop making up lies and stop making up rumors about my friend."
Last year, I was talking with some of my close friends and were just talking about randomness and other subjects that made no sense. They then moved to the topic of one of my best friends and they were saying rude and unnecessary comments about her and I was really bothered about their lack of respect toward her. I told them to please stop insulting her and to not judge people. They thought I was just lying and was not speaking truly so they kept on trashing her. I ditched them to go hang out with that friends who was being insulted by them.
I remember the time when I first saw somebody getting bullied in person. I was mixed between being completely shocked and not knowing what to do. It was like I wanted to talk but I couldn't! There was a whole gang of girls making fun of the sweetest, yet shyest girl in the school. They were discriminating her clothing, her accent and her face. After standing there in shock for a while, I decided to take a stand and go up to the gang of girls and tell them how I felt about the situation. I could to tell that they were embarrassed of themselves after I told them what was on my mind. After this event the girl thanked me several times and we began to get to know each other better! I'm really happy I took a stand and I know that if I were to ever see a problem like that I will not hesitate to react!
I didn't exactly stand up for my friend but I stood up for my brother.(I guess he's my friend). It was when one of my friends was bullying my brother. First I just told him to stop because he was my friend. Unfortunately he didn't stop bullying my brother. So I stepped in and told my friend if he was my friend why would he bullie my brother. He is nice to people (except me). For some odd reason that he never wanted to tell me he left my brother alone for the other year that he went to my school. The next year he left and I haven't seen him since. My brother thanlked me but didn't really appreciate what I had done for him.
In the summer time, I play soccer with my friends on my team and my friends sometimes get pushed so I tend to defend them a lot. I play for Dollard and my teams rival is Pierrefonds. I am "extra rough" when I play against them. So when my friends get shoved I always do the same thing back to the other team. I love defending my team. In particular, one game we were playing against NDG and the entire game they were pushing my team around so five minutes before the game ended one of the pushers from the other team came to my side of the field so I decided to push her, but what I didn't know was that she had a friend (her backup) and they both came and pushed me at the same time. It didn't finish so well, when I hit the ground the two girls fell right on top on my legs in an awkward position. My leg hurt so bad I couldn't get it was one of the only times where I cried because of an injury. even though it was hard for me to walk I still played the next game (3 hours after the injury).But my team was happy that I stock up for them. I was happy I did too.
That was a very brave and nice thing you did! Defending your team while (literally) having their backs! Any team now that you will have, should be extremely happy to have you on the team since you can defend greatly while standing on your feet! Your blog was truly beautiful and wonderful!
One day, my parents decided to show their favouritism between my brother and I. They started talking really loudly on how they favoured everything about me over my brother. Pointing out all the things they didn’t like about him and saying all the things they liked about me while my brother was in the room too. I could see that he was trying to stay emotionless, but you know, since we were family I could see that he was in pain. I decided to counter my parents opinions and disagree with about everything they said. I stoop up to them, showing them that I was mad. They were definitely furious and confused, but seeing my brother give me that grateful look made me extremely happy since that’s the one thing family’s suppose to do. Stand up for each other no matter what, even if your family member is guilty, you should always have their back.
I've always been bullied so from a young age I had to learn how to stick up for myself and don't let anyone push me around. When I see someone with a problem I try and help in any way I can since I know how it feels when you down and out of it. This one time at my day camp a couple of years back, there were these kids making fun of one of my friends. They were making fun of him because he's autistic and makes these really cool noises with his mouth. I mean he can make sound effects from almost any movies or shows he's seen. It's really coo. So anyway, these kids were making fun of him because he had a disability and they were being very vocal about it. So I turned around, looked both of them in the eyes with a hard glare and said: "Look you can make fun of me all you like. It really doesn't bother me. But you can't ever make fun of my friends. That is a line you are not aloud to cross". I said that because the kids were trying to make fun of me and my autistic friend stood p for me. After that they only ever tried to make fun of me but really all they were doing was making themselves look like jerks. Lara
This story isn’t about me standing up for my friends but more against my friends (because I’ve never really standed up for my friends). In 2nd grade there was this boy that was kind of mean and that my friends and I didn’t really like. He had a hot temper and was very violent. One day we were playing in the courtyard when we say him and started to trie and get him mad. One of our more shie friends came up to me and told me that this was wrong. I told him he was right and went in front of my whole group and told them to stop. They all realized what they where doing and they stopped immediately. That is how I help one of my enemies against my best friends.
In grade two I had two best friends; the problem was that they didn’t like each other. I tried to make them hang out together and be nice, because it would bother me that that they wouldn’t get along. I also like to hang out with a bunch of people and it sucked because I would never be able to have fun with my best friends together! I would often be confused because they’re so nice but when I would put them together they would be so mean. Though one day I got really mad because one best friend told lies to the teacher that my other best friend was pushing her and saying mean things. Also the only way she would tell the truth and confess it was a lie, is that I would never hang out with my other best friend again. I remember thinking all night what should I do, but I said to myself if my best friend makes me choose between another really good friend than it means she’s not a true friend. That’s because no friend can choose who you should be friends with it’s your choice. So the next day I told her that she has to confessed that she lied to the teacher or I wouldn’t be her friend, because it was not fair that my other friend got in trouble for a lie. Luckily she did and we all ended up happy and friends!
Last summer (2014) my friends and I were hanging out. One of my friends was having a big problem with this other guy I sort of knew. She always thought he was extremely annoying, dumb and useless. Then they started arguing over something (which I am still not exactly sure of). My other friends and I thought he was not as bad as she described him. So anyway we were just hanging out and then somehow the conversation’s topic changed and ended up talking about this person. She started just saying how none of us should talk to him and he is really an idiot and start saying all these things that were not true. At first I started listening to her but then I was like “Wait that is your opinion . I think he is a really nice person , stop saying bad things about a person when he is not there. If you don’t like him that is your personal opinion just because you think that, we don’t all have to think the same as you.” For a moment it was all awkward and silent then one of my other friend was like “Ya , guys let’s just change the topic.”At first I think my friend was disappointed at me then I think she agreed with me. -Madurra
I do not remember sticking up for a friend, since I have not been in a situation where I would have to stick up for someone. However, I remember I would be talking to someone in class, back in elementary. The teacher would sometimes tell the other person to stop talking when I started the conversation. Those were the times when I decided I should admit the truth that it was not the other person's fault. I would tell the teacher,"No, it was me who started it!". However, the teacher would not care. She would say, "I don't care you both were still talking!". I would get so annoyed and I would feel regretful. It was horrible. However, I did once have a teacher who would always say, "Sorry" if something she did was not right. That teacher was also my favorite teacher. When she said "Sorry" to her students I would feel so happy on the inside! It was so new! She was the only teacher who would say "Sorry" in front of the whole class and admit her mistake! When th esame situation happened to her students and she would admit that she did not know the actual situation. I have always hoped some-teacher would learn something from her. Sometimes the situation would be the other way around for me. It would not be me who started, it would be the other person. I would get so mad when my teachers would call on me and tell me to stop talking. That was when I would not tell the teacher that it was not my fault. Hence I have experienced bother versions, where I have told the teacher that it was my fault , and I have not told teacher it was the other person's fault. Usually the other person would be my friend. I find that teachers develop a bad impression on you when you talk in class, so I find it important to tell the teacher the truth. I hope I will never have to go through this type of situation again.
I have never stood for anyone of my friends because in elementary school we would all ways(every single chance we got) joke around and mock one another about this or that but it was always in good fun. We never meant most things we said and we all knew what was wrong, where the line was and that the other person was only joking around. But there were sometimes that one of us could have step in and stopped someone from taking it a little too far.
If I have ever stood up for a friend of mine which I have, it must have been something not really important as I cannot remember a time where I had to do so. My friends and I never really encountered with these issues so that just wasn’t a problem. Sometimes I would see others sticking up for their friends which is great and really important to do if something happened to them that you don’t agree with. Julia Daniele
Last summer,when I was teaching the young kids how to sail, there was a new person coming in to take my shift and his name was Eric. He looked a little bit more different than everyone else and that is what made people make fun of him. After he got made fun of, I really did not know what to say because I was not the type of person who was able to stand up for someone so easily. Then I remembered; my grandpa used to get made fun of because he was short and he had really light colored eyes, which was not common in the state that he was living in in India. I stood up to them by just saying "What's the point of coming to teach, when all you do is make fun of him?". They soon stopped and Eric and I soon became really good friends.
I think that I have stood up for my friends many times, but I’m going to talk about my favorite one. This event happened in the spring of grade three in the school yard. I was playing manhunt when I saw grade fivers who found a red Nintendo Ds on the ground, and I knew my friend had just lost his a few days ago in the yard. I had to be brave to go up to kids twice my size and ask for the 200$ item they had in their hans, but I went up there and did it. They actually were nice about it and believed me which was really reliving. When I gave it to my friend, I saw the look of extreme happiness on his face which made me want to do something like that again, and I have. -Adrian Szekely
A time I stood up for my friend was this week. There was a kid that came and started annoying my friend when we were talking. This person started bothering both of us. So we decided to stand up and tell the person to stop. I was getting really annoyed because he wouldn’t leave us alone so we just didn’t pay attention to anything and kept talking. At the end we were left alone and everything worked out. Now, if this ever happens to me, I know exactly what to do and say.
One time my friend was being excluded from my other group of friends. I tried telling my friends that is was not fair that they were not letting her sit with us at lunch. They wouldn't listen to me. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to be friends with both of them, but obviously that wasn't going to work. I finally found out what to do. I decided to start hanging out with my friend that was being excluded. My other friends started to see that she was actually really nice. We all became great friends and had so much fun together. -Erin
Once we where playing soccer and this kid was always getting what he wanted and thought he was the best out everything and always wanted to be with the best so the kid getting bullied didn't play anymore so I went to go see him and he told me what happened so I went up to the bully. Took the ball threw it away and told him that you are bullying him and that if you keep on doing it no one is going to want to be friends with you. He stopped and the kid started to play soccer. Another time this kid was bullying me and im a chill kid so I don't care what he says but it got me so annoyed so finally I went to the teacher and told her and after a week he was so nice to me . So my advice is don't bottle things up. Matt Colpron
Great blog it was a good topic. I agree you should confront the bully and tell him to stop it takes a lot of courage but it is important. Daniel Carducci
One time when I stood up for a friend was when another person called my friend a really mean name, and I stood up for her and told the other person to go mind their own business, and the person was speechless and walked away. That's usually what I try to do. I try to make them speechless and hope for them to walk away. Sometimes this doesn't work but usually it does. I try to stand up for my friends because then they try to do the same to you, when you are in a situation like that. Hopefully they would do the same.
Once My friend was trying to sit at the lunch table I sit at. When he tried to sit this kid from the same table told him he cannot sit because we have a system and your not allowed to sit there even though nobody ever takes that spot. So I told the kid that he could sit here. Why not nobody ever sits there. The kid kept disagreeing so we kept fighting until finally the kid agreed and let my friend sit here . It doesn't sound like a big deal but its little things that count too because people like when you help them in the little things too. I told that guy not to pick on him the next day and he listened. Just by saying stop I solved the problem. Daniel Carducci
One time in grade 6, there was a girl that was and still is my friend. There was a boy who was calling her names and making fun of her, she kept on telling him to stop and he never did. I saw this and I told him to stop. Of course he didn't, so I told her"just ignore him, it will bother him that you're not reacting". She started to ignore him and it immediately got better.
One time when I was a kid, I was around 5, and it was at my daycare, there was this boy named Jimmy and I guess he didn’t understand English very well and didn’t know how to communicate with a teacher or student. He would bite other kids and make a really big and painful mark on their hand or wrist. One day he was about to bite my friend and I went up to him and gave him such a big scratch under his eye, that it would most probably make a scar. Later the next morning the mother kept on asking all the parents who had boys, and not the parents who had girls since she thought a girl couldn’t do that much damage to his eye.

I had to be brave to go up to kids twice my size and ask for the 200$ item they had in their hans, but I went up there and did it. They actually were nice about it and believed me which was really reliving. When I gave it to my friend, I saw the look of extreme happiness on his face which made me want to do something like that again, and I have.

A time I stood up for my friend was this week. There was a kid that came and started annoying my friend when we were talking. This person started bothering both of us. So we decided to stand up and tell the person to stop. I was getting really annoyed because he wouldn’t leave us alone so we just didn’t pay attention to anything and kept talking. At the end we were left alone and everything worked out. Now, if this ever happens to me, I know exactly what to do and say.
ReplyDeleteOne time my friend was being excluded from my other group of friends. I tried telling my friends that is was not fair that they were not letting her sit with us at lunch. They wouldn't listen to me. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to be friends with both of them, but obviously that wasn't going to work. I finally found out what to do. I decided to start hanging out with my friend that was being excluded. My other friends started to see that she was actually really nice. We all became great friends and had so much fun together.

Once we where playing soccer and this kid was always getting what he wanted and thought he was the best out everything and always wanted to be with the best so the kid getting bullied didn't play anymore so I went to go see him and he told me what happened so I went up to the bully. Took the ball threw it away and told him that you are bullying him and that if you keep on doing it no one is going to want to be friends with you. He stopped and the kid started to play soccer. Another time this kid was bullying me and im a chill kid so I don't care what he says but it got me so annoyed so finally I went to the teacher and told her and after a week he was so nice to me . So my advice is don't bottle things up.

Great blog it was a good topic. I agree you should confront the bully and tell him to stop it takes a lot of courage but it is important.

One time when I stood up for a friend was when another person called my friend a really mean name, and I stood up for her and told the other person to go mind their own business, and the person was speechless and walked away. That's usually what I try to do. I try to make them speechless and hope for them to walk away. Sometimes this doesn't work but usually it does. I try to stand up for my friends because then they try to do the same to you, when you are in a situation like that. Hopefully they would do the same.

Once My friend was trying to sit at the lunch table I sit at. When he tried to sit this kid from the same table told him he cannot sit because we have a system and your not allowed to sit there even though nobody ever takes that spot. So I told the kid that he could sit here. Why not nobody ever sits there. The kid kept disagreeing so we kept fighting until finally the kid agreed and let my friend sit here . It doesn't sound like a big deal but its little things that count too because people like when you help them in the little things too. I told that guy not to pick on him the next day and he listened. Just by saying stop I solved the problem.

One time in grade 6, there was a girl that was and still is my friend. There was a boy who was calling her names and making fun of her, she kept on telling him to stop and he never did. I saw this and I told him to stop. Of course he didn't, so I told her"just ignore him, it will bother him that you're not reacting". She started to ignore him and it immediately got better.
