PLS HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!! 40 POINTS!! Sixteen-year-old Tristan just moved to a new high school. At his previous school, hi
s hair and clothes looked just like everyone else’s fashion choices. At his new school, Tristan’s style stands out though. Yesterday, they took his hat and walked through the hallways doing cruel imitations of him. Some other kids looked uncomfortable, but no one did anything to improve the situation. Though those bullying Tristan are the ones who are responsible for their actions, the people witnessing their behavior can do more than just watch and hope that the bullying stops.
Take the perspective of either Tristan or one of the bystanders. Think of at least three potential responses you could give to object to the bullying. These responses should follow school rules and should be appropriate. Describe each response, and identify the pros and cons of that response.
For both bystanders and Tristan: Report the behavior to the Administration. Pro : Bully could potentially stop. Con : like I said, POTENTIALLY, admin might also sit around and watch even though they say they will, bully now bullies you, or if your Tristan, bullying could get worse.
For Tristan: Laugh it off (only works best if joking is easy for you) Pro : Could catch the bully off guard. Con : Bully might get the idea that you either A) don’t take them seriously and could want to fight you or B) are fine with the bullying and will do it more.
