Bullying

A few years ago when I was in grade 6 I was having a birthday party and I was taking a bunch of friends up to my cottage. At the time I had two different groups of friends and I wasn’t sure if they would get along or not so I was a little nervous to see how it would go.  The car ride up was a little awkward but things seemed to be going smoothly…not for long though. As soon as we got there we decided to choose who would sleep in what bed and of course because I was the birthday girl everyone jumped to be beside me. The end result was all the girls from one group beside me and the one girl who didn’t know anyone else was all alone of the other side of the room. This was the start of a terrible weekend. All weekend I didn’t realize it but most of the girls were being really rude and excluding one of the girls. Now that I look back on it I was also contributing to it and made her feel really bad about her self. In the end we all went home and the girl and me talked about it and I apologized for what I did and we agreed to never hangout with the other girls in a group anymore. At the time I didn’t realize how rude I was being to the other girl and didn’t realize how much of an impact my actions had on her.
