From The Author
Dear Reader,
Did you know that we've all been bullied at some time in our lives--whether we liked it or not? Sometimes the bully is so-o sneaky about it that we don't even realize what he's doing to us.
Jay Carter wrote a book called Nasty People for adults because they get bullied too. He asked me to write this book for kids so you can learn how to deal with bullies early in life. So, I'm writing this book for you.
Let me tell you a story about a friend named Greg that I use to hang out with when I was a kid. Greg was the type of tough guy who would go around telling everyone he could eat bricks. And we believed him! Because he had a big voice. We didn't dare question him about it. He bullied us into believing him.
One time, Greg told one of our younger friends to wet his pants, or else. This may sound funny, but the poor kid was scared, so he did it! His mom yelled at him when he came home to change his pants and he told her that Greg made him do it.
But nobody can make you do anything,
she answered. And she was right. He let Greg bully him. He was bullied by the best. We all have been bullied in some way.
I remember another time, when I was in third grade, I had a teacher named Mrs. Perch, who was a real goof. She would kick her foot out behind her when she wrote on the blackboard and flirt with all the boys in the class. Sometimes she even sprayed them with her perfume. I don't know why they let her do that!
One day, she made me stand up in front of the entire class. She told me that I have cats' eyes and they make me look sneaky. Was she just jealous and felt the need to put me down?
First of all, I couldn't change my eyes--even if I wanted to. Plus, I like my eyes the way they are. Secondly, in a teacher-student relationship, that was really none of her business. But, out of respect, and not having a response planned, I said nothing back.
If that wasn't bad enough, in seventh grade I sat in back of a girl named Andrea. Andrea always wore more makeup than anybody else. Plus her mom was always buying her the latest fashions in clothes. She even got her a new nose (nose job)! Andrea walked around like she thought she was a model or something. She definitely felt she was cooler than the rest of us.
She and her bully gang (sometimes they attack in numbers) came up to me one time, took off my glasses, and pulled on my eye lashes! They thought my lashes were fake because they were long and dark. They pulled until some came out--then they finally realized they were real. Andrea would pull my glasses off a lot and tell me, You look so-o pretty without your glasses, you should get contacts.
This may sound like a nice compliment--at first. But done enough times by this type of person, it's called bullying. Because she was bossy, she always had to be telling everyone
