Prompt 2 Spring:

I was lucky enough that I did not experience bullying as a student. Looking back at my middle and high school experience I don't recall any specific stories of bullying however I am sure it was present. I remember there was one student who was bullied by other students. It was mainly verbal and a lack of including in group activities. I remember at the time feeling really bad or her but not knowing what to do or say in the moment. As a teacher this experience has helped me because it reminds me what I need to do to help students who are being bullied. It is hard as a high schooler to step up and say something but I can now play that role to try and help all parties.
