A son took his old father to a restaurant for an evening dinner. The father was very old and weak. While the father was eating, he dropped food on his shirt and trousers, and also on the table, the chair and the floor. Other diners watched him in disgust (厌恶) while his son was so calm.

After the father finished eating, the son who was not at all embarrassed (窘迫,尴尬), quietly took him to the washroom, cleaned his clothes, smoothed his hair and fitted his glasses firmly.

Many people think of bully (欺凌) as one child pushing or hitting another, but bullying is not only physical. When I was in junior high, the girls in my class would laugh at me or ask questions designed to embarrass (使….窘迫) me. Once a girl looked at me and shouted loudly, " I don't want to sit next to her!" Their comments (评价) didn't hurt me physically, but they did make me sad.

Bullying is a common problem in schools, and some adults even have to deal with it at work. But anyone can take action to stop it.

Be kind

You may not think of yourself as a bully, but do you make jokes at others' expense (消费) ? If the other person isn't laughing, your words or actions may hurt more than you think. Many bullies were once victims (受害者) of bullying and now bully others to feel powerful. If that's you, don't hurt others, but treat others well. Being kind can truly make you powerful.

Speak up

If you notice one person bullying another, please tell them to stop. Many bullies are motivated (刺激) by a desire to look cool, so if you tell them you are not cool, then they'll stop.

Be confident

If you're being bullied, don't try it face it alone; but ask a parent or other trusted adult for help. Similarly, in places where bullying happens, stay close to a friend since bullies often target people who are alone. When you're being bullied, walk away calmly. If you don't seem scared, the bully may lose interest in you.
