Blog Prompts 1 - Have you ever been excluded from a group of people, or been in a group of people who excludes other people?
Two year ago when I was in Primary 6, there was this guy my class who was severely overweight and was the subject of much casual bullying. one day during PE, we were required to run the shuttle run which was 4 x 100m. When it was the overweight guy's turn to run, he ran quite slowly and clumsily as he could not stop properly. The bullies in the class laughed and some people just followed due to the so-called 'mob-mentality'. I cannot say that I defended the student but neither did I laugh and that was a source of comfort for him. From that day onwards we were friends but both of us were quite quite so I did not know much about him beyond the surface. He loved Science and got me much more interested in Science that I was at that time.
