Michael Kim is worried about making friends at his new school, until he meets Jason—a boy his age who lives in the same neighborhood and will be going to the same school. But even with a new friend, Michael faces trouble at the bus stop on the first day of school when a boy named Chuck begins calling him names. Michael is angry, even though all of the other kids encourage him to ignore the other boy. Chuck’s buddies tell him to quit picking on Michael, but Chuck is sure that he isn’t hurting anyone. He doesn’t think he’s a bully; he’s just having fun. Sensing a problem, Mrs. Murphy, the bus driver, asks Michael and Jason to talk to her, but Michael is afraid he’ll be tattling if he tells the truth. Mrs. Murphy assures Michael that he’s not tattling and encourages him to tell his parents and the principal in order to report the bullying. Michael is facing a very difficult situation. He is being bullied, and he needs to figure out how to handle it. What would you do?
