2) When Michael first saw Molly being bullied by Jane, he immediately went to her side and showed friendship. Has there ever been a time when you stuck up for someone that was being bullied? What are some good ways to show friendship? 
3) When Jane was bullying Molly, she was using her words to make Molly feel bad. Bobo and Michael were able to use words to make Molly feel better. What is the best way to talk to your peers? How can we use language to show each other respect?
