Dear Chopsticks,

Tell us your bully problems and we will give you advise about how to make it better.

The Chopsticks

What? Bullying about being against bullying?

Yes. Well, sort of. Someone is being mean to us about doing DI (Destination Imagination). This is, sadly, not the first time. Before, we have been told our skit was stupid. Or at least a costume of theme. One of my non-Chopsticks friends and I decided to tell a teacher. It helped. It's always better when someone knows who can help. We do respect the person's opinion but, we have our feelings.

Lay low? Climb High!

Leaders in the cool groups often need other people to be friends with them to make them powerful. But as the leader grows stronger, and people join them, other people grow timid. They feel like they need to be friends with the leader or the leader will spread rumors about them! Because if the leader senses that you are a threat, they might spread a rumor about you, or say something mean. So if you are timid, and follow the leader, before you know it, you will be a bully too! That's laying low. But don't lay low! Stand up for your self. Climb high.

Blackmail

Blackmail.
An email gone bad.
A text that threatens punishment if you don't follow through.
A note you found announcing your greatest secret will be reviled if you don't give the money.
A life ruined if you don't tell.
But of course hurt will come if you do.
Still, no matter what the blackmailer threatens you MUST tell.
Sincerely, Tabby
