On the outside. Insulted. Left out.
Everyone is different. Yet many people are bullied – just for being who they are. And because someone thinks they have the right to put others down.
EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT. That’s the way it is. Inside as well as outside. And tastes differ. Some people like red, others think green is nicer. Some people prefer to be with quiet types. Other are attracted to those who are seen and heard most. Some have a style of their own, while many would rather be like most people. It doesn’t matter.
Because everyone is beautiful to someone. And no one is beautiful to everyone.
Yet many people are bullied – just for being who they are. And because someone thinks they have the right to put others down.
Being bullied is never the fault of the one being bullied. The fault is with the one who does the bullying. And everyone has a right to have a friend. No one should have a nervous lump in their stomach when they go to school.
What can be done?
YOU CAN DO SOMETHING YOURSELF, too! If you see someone who always walks alone, avoids eye contact and looks at the ground – go up and have a chat. Ask, “You look sad, is there anything I can do?” Sit at the same table in the school cafeteria and say hello when you see them.
GLÖD met Bea, who has been teased for being big, and Mimmi, who has been teased for being small. Today, they know how to speak their minds. And they know why some people are more popular than others.
Victoria was bullied every day for seven years, without understanding why. Today, she is happily in love and free of her tormentors. Also, we meet four angels without wings. Thanks to them, there is no bullying at school: Everyone has a friend, even those who are different.
