by anna h

INTRO:
Everywhere kids are bullied and teased in school. Recent bullying statistics admit that half of all bullying incidents go unreported. Here are some of the examples of what happens every day.

Characters:
katie dana jim lauren yana nick sam ben

DESCRIPTION:
ACT ONE: The playground We are in the playground. Jim and Nick drop their bags off at the tree and run happily to play on the monkey bars. They leave their bags on the ground and k+d steal their stuff. They come back to their bags and start crying because their stuff was stolen.

ACT TWO:The trophy room The next scene takes place right outside of commons. sam is wearing pillows and stuff under his stomach to make him look fat. Kids are making fun of him (nick, ben, jim). Calling him names. He gets sad. Then lunch comes and he doesn’t want to eat anything. He cries and eats his hand.

ACT THREE: An empty classroom Takes place in a classroom. Yana is the math teacher. The kids are taking a test. Lauren is doing her work and Ben is trying to look at her paper. Then Yana leaves the room and Ben starts asking Lauren for answers. Lauren says no but he takes the paper anyway. Lauren gets really mad that he was cheating but Ben says that he’ll punch her if she tells. Yana is about to come back into the room while ben gives lauren back her paper.

ACT FOUR: Lauren, Sam and Jim and Nick walk together. Don't bully. You don't realize how it can affect people. Then Katie, Ben, and Dana step in the way of them walking and stop them.
