School Bullying 校園霸凌 |
Tuesday, March 17, 2015 Dear Diary, Today was a bad day. Jimmy Thompson came up to me again at lunch with his friends. He started calling me names. Then when I tried to walk away, he grabbed me and pushed me to the ground. Then they all started laughing at me. Luckily, a teacher came along before anything worse could happen. Jimmy pretended to help me up. He was pretending that I tripped. And then he said that he'd finish the job tomorrow. Now I'm scared to even go to school. Should I say I'm sick and take a day off? No, then Jimmy will know I'm scared of him. And that's just what he wants. I have to be brave. If I make him think that what he's doing doesn't bother me, maybe he'll stop. It's worth a try, anyway. I'll let you know how things go tomorrow. Wish me luck. 2015年3月17日星期二 親愛的日記: 我今天很衰,吉米•湯普森和他的朋友在午餐時間又找我麻煩。他不斷辱罵我,我試著遠離現場,他卻抓住我,將我推倒在地,然後開始嘲笑我。 幸好有老師經過, 事情才沒有越演越烈,吉米還假裝扶我起來,推說是我自己跌倒,背地裡跟我說他明天會繼續欺負我。現在我很怕上學,我應該請病假嗎?不行,吉米會知道我怕他,這樣他就稱心如意了,我必須勇敢起來,如果我讓他覺得他的所作所為不會影響到我,也許他就會收手。反正值得一試,我會讓你知道明天的發展,祝我好運吧…… |
