The Bully

Joel was a young boy at a measly 12 years old. He stood at a petite 4 foot 11 inches. At school, the other boys always made fun of him because he was so short. Joel was also a little on the heavier side. This brought on names such as Rolliepollie and Lumpydumpy. The name calling really hurt poor Joel's feelings, sometimes it even made him cry. But, in 7th grade, someone finally stood up for Joel.   Thomas had just moved into town and knew exactly how it felt to be bullied. When he saw the boys making fun of Joel, he walked right up to them an told them off. The boys backed away very quickly because Thomas was large than them. Once the boys had left, Thomas helped Joel up off the ground, put his arm around him and walked him into school. From that day on, no one ever bullied Joel again because he had his best friend Thomas there to protect him.
