A time when you felt that you were treated unfairly what was the situation who was involved and how did you respond
Jlenok [28]

Explanation:

A situation in school life that most young people must have gone through is bullying, this type of offense related to some physical or mental characteristic of someone can generate major traumas and cause the person to develop emotional problems such as depression for example.

Therefore suffering bullying is an unfair situation that no young person needs to go through, and if that situation occurs, it is ideal to immediately communicate to school officials, for example, parents and any trusted adult so that the necessary steps are taken, as everyone deserves to be respected as they are.
