Jasmine:I thought bullying was just a few jokes, but it’s so much more. I saw what it did to Mia, and I wish I had stopped it sooner.Miss Kelly:Yes, it should be stopped as bullying hurts everyone, not just the victim. We all need to act.Mia:I tried so hard to fit in. No matter what I did, it wasn’t enough for them. They only saw my mistakes, not the real me. Every day felt like a battle just to be heard. I wanted to scream, but my voice was drowned out by their laughter, by their cruel words. I didn’t want to be perfect—I just wanted to be accepted, to belong, to be seen for who I really was.Jasmine:I wasn’t there for Mia, but I won’t let that happen again. I hope that we can make school a safe place for everyone.Miss Kelly:It starts with speaking up. You’re already making a difference.Jasmine:Ok, maybe you got a point there. We can't change the past, but we can change what happens next.
