Remember Me?

•

• 

I am the boy who looked for friendship;

The boy you turned away.

What does turning away someone look like?

• 
• 
• 

I the boy who asked you

If I too might play.

What did the boy ask the bully?

• if he can have a bite of the bully's sandwich

• if he can call him every night

• if he can play

My face was at the window

When your party was inside.

I was the lonely figure

Who walked away and cried.

How did the boy feel?

• excited

• disgusted

• lonely

• happy

I am the one who hung around,

A punchbag for your games.

Someone you could kick and beat,

Someone to call names.

What would the bully do to the boy?

• hang around with him

• go boxing with him

• kick and beat him, and call him names

But how strange is the change

After time has hurried by,

Four years have passed since then,

Now I’m not so quick to cry.

How much time has passed since the boy was bullied?

• 5 years

• 9 years

• 16 years

• 4 years

I’m bigger and I’m stronger,

I’ve grown a foot in height.

Suddenly I’M popular

And YOU’RE left out the light.

How is the boy now?

• bigger and shy

• smaller and shorter

• bigger, stronger and popular

Which is popular?

• 
• 
• 
•
