Salma Deals With Bullying

Salma, cheerfully: Hello everyone! How was the weekend? The bully: I saw that video of you painting on your mom’s Instagram story. That’s so lame! Jood, soothingly: Salma, these girls don’t know what they’re talking about. That girl is bullying you, and she’s treating you like this because she has her own problems. Your hobbies and talents are very valuable. Rayyan, suddenly: Oh, Jood! Salma! I have an idea! Why don’t you go talk to your art teacher, Ms. Maryam. I think she can help you out with your problem! Salma: You’re right, Rayyan. I really love Ms. Maryam Yes, I’m going to talk to her. Ms. Maryam: Well, that’s not okay! We will prove to everyone just how talented you are at the annual student art exhibit. Let's start practicing right away! The bully: I’m sorry about what I said to you, and especially about my mean comments on Instagram. I just really wanted to be as good as you at art and I acted mean towards you. Do you forgive me? Salma looking at the bully, smiling: I forgive you. Do you promise to be more considerate to everyone in the future? We see Salma’s inner monologue: Jood was right. Even if we get bullied online or at school, we shouldn’t let anyone ever make us believe that we’re lame or that we don’t matter.
