Personal Narrative: What I Think Is Right

Improved Essays
What I Think Is Right There are many things that I am willing to stand up for, but the main thing I will always stand up for being my friends and family. I will stand up for my friends when they get bullied or if someone teases them. An example of when I stood up for my friend was when he got bullied. I told the people who bullied him that it wasn’t right. After that, I felt good and so did my friend. Even if it wasn’t the “popular” decision I did what was right and helped make my friends feel good.
Bullying is an aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves spreading rumors, attacking someone verbally or physically, making threats, or just excluding someone from a group. Bullying can ruin a child's life if they are influenced
