Directions: Read the story. Then answer the questions below.
Bulied
Bryan doesn't like going to school anymore. He is tired of being bullied. Some of the
bigger boys at school are mean to him. They push him to the ground. They hide his
books. They call him names. They are bullies.
When things get really bad, Bryan tells his mom he is sick.You should stay home
and rest, Mom says. You'll feel better tomorrow. Then Bryan gets to stay home. He
reads books. He watches television. He eats what he wants. He is not scared. You should
tell someone you are getting bullied at school, says Bryans best friend, Link.
But Bryan is scared. He doesn't want to tell an adult.
That will make things worse, Link, says Bryan. You dont go to my school. You
have no idea how mean these guys can be.
You cant keep missing school, says Link. Your grades will fall. You will be in
trouble at home. And besides, you don't want to be in the seventh grade forever, do you?"
Bryan thinks Link is probably right. He will tell his mom about the bullies when she gets
home from work tonight. He will see what happens.
