3. In this lesson we will be exploring how everyone is different, and learning that our differences should be respected.

5. What’s the matter Anna? You look really sad! You’ve lost your lovely smile today. Oh Digby, I am so upset. Some of the children have been saying horrid things to me!

6. I’m listening ……. They’re saying ‘you’re so gay’ because I like playing football, and don’t like wearing pretty dresses like most other girls.

7. Even so, they must see how much this is hurting you. The ringleaders know exactly what they are saying, but I think some of the children are just copying, and don’t know what ‘gay’ means.

8. You’re so gay! Hi there, gay girl! See what I mean? Uh ha! That’s real bad!

9. Hello little gay girl! Hee…hee…..hee It’s always good for a laugh watching them tease Anna! Pack it in Liam! Can’t you see how much you are hurting her? I’m glad they’re not picking on me. I’m off!

10. I feel so miserable, I don’t want to come to school any more! I’m certain they would stop if they knew the harm they were doing…. I’m going to get help.

11. Hey guys, what you are doing is one of the WORST forms of bullying. It is VERY hurtful and it is against the school rules. Yeh! We all live our lives differently according to our different talents and our likes and dislikes. It’s what makes people interesting!

12. You’ve been mean to this little girl too! Yes, You’ve been chasing me, and calling me names because I’ve got two dads. There are lots of different kinds of families. You should never pick on someone because their lives are unlike yours. Good on yer Ahmeti!

13. My dads are proud to be gay, and they are the best parents in the world! Remember when you use ‘gay’ as a put down, you are insulting all people who are gay! That’s plain wrong!

14. So it’s agreed eh? No more bullying! Sorry Anna! Sorry Cathy! It won’t happen again!

15. I feel so much better now!

16. Thanks for standing up for me, my friends! Go-Givers can never be bystanders.
