Dealing With Bullies

Dealing With Bullies
By Kelly O'Connor

A new kid moves to town and attends the neighborhood school. He's bigger than Johnny and the other boys and scares them into giving up their lunch money or answers to tests. Soon Johnny's dad finds out what is going on, and he sits his son down for a "man-to-man" talk.

He convinces Johnny to stand up for himself, and when he does, the bully never bothers Johnny again. The conflict is solved and life goes back to normal, all within 30 minutes.
