Today (April 10) is international day of pink. We celebrate it because in Nova Scotia there was a new kid in high school that got bullied by 2 other kids and 2 kids saw that he was getting bullied. The kids that saw it happen went to the store the next day and bought 50 pink shirts. All the boys took a shirt and that was the start of day of pink. We celebrated by making bracelets and badges. Conner’s bracelet has bullying with a no symbol. It also has say no to bullying, think pink and take a stand. Michael’s has a bunch of things about saying no to bullying like anti-bullying. On Conner’s badge he has things like say no to bullying, be a star, anti-bullying and stop bullying. On Michael’s badge he has a star that says be a star and don’t bully! For the big activity we had to draw what character we would have to play as. There was the bully, the bullied and the bystander. We were both part of the bullied group. We had to discuss what we were feeling and what our reasons were. We said that we were feeling sad and just wanted to cry in a corner. The reasons part is where we had to think of why we were getting bullied. We both thought of 4 things. Our reasons were we don’t look like everyone else. 2 was we have an accent and the third one was what they wore. The 4th one is that we were a different height. We made a poem after to talk about how we feel. It was cool walking in a bullied persons shoes but the character we played wasn’t happy. We learned a lot about bullying today.
