Pink Shirt Day

Everyone:

On Wednesday, we observed "pink shirt day" which is a day set aside for us to resolve to demonstrate kindness and empathy for others.  Write a brief scene that could be used for a public service commercial about bullying and why we should stand up against it.

Here's mine:

Jordie is at his locker.  Andy, Carol and Fee approach him, laughing in a sneering way.

Andy:  Oh, Jordie, where'd you get that shirt?  Value Village?  I think my dad donated it because it was too unfashionable even for him.

Carol:  Yeah, Jordie.  What's wrong with you?  Did you even glance in a mirror before you came to school?

Fee:  You're such a loser, Jordie.

They laugh at him.

Killian comes up to the group.

Killian:  Fee, if you want to see a loser, maybe you should take a look in a mirror.

Andy and Fee:  Whoa!

Carol:  What, are you friends with this guy, Killian?  Want to catch the loser virus?

Killian:  Look, guys, you all need to grow up.  Who cares what somebody wears?  It's really none of your business.  

Carol:  Who do you think you are?

Killian:  I know who I am.  Who are you?

Carol has no answer.  Her friends look stupefied.

Killian:  Let's get going, Jordie.  We're going to be late for Band.

Jordie:  Yeah, don't want to be late.  (Killian and Jordie leave, while Carol, Andy and Fee stand there looking stupid.)
