To Act or Not to Act

Taking Action for the right things in life are very important because you not only help yourself but other's effected by the situation. I had the opportunity to take action against bullying. At my old school, there was a new girl that came in grade 10 and people made fun of her because people thought that she was emo. But little did they know, she lost her whole family and she went to counselling to deal with that issue. And i would witness a lot people bullying her, saying very mean things to her about her going to counselling and people called her very harsh things. So then i stood up for her because no one should deserve to go through something like that and be bullied by it. I took action to stop people  from bullying her and I gave her support that she was going to be okay. With people bullying her she was always shy and afraid to talk or start a conversation. But soon when I stood up for her, she opened up to me and people didn't notice that she is just a regular girl. I am glad that i took action against something that was bothering her and bothering me because it shows that people do care if your going through something which is not fair.
