A Bullying Story

Dane and Kim were walking home together, talking about a TV programme. A few
other kids were walking a bit behind.
Suddenly Luke and Delvin appeared, with Karl just behind them. Luke shouted,
‘Well, look who it is. Don’t you know by now that this is where the real lads hang
out? What makes you think some stuck-up little keener like you has a right to use
this path?’
The other kids stopped to watch.
Dane looked worried and muttered to Kim, ‘Oh no, not again’. He tried to walk
past with his eyes down.
Luke and Delvin blocked his way, with Karl behind them. They started shouting
insults at him, getting worse and worse until they were getting at Dane’s Mum
because she ‘talks posh’. Karl occasionally added an insult which creased everyone
up.
A group of children stopped to watch.
Then Kim spoke up. ‘Listen – he just wants to go home. You know there isn’t
another way.’ Karl raised an eyebrow and Luke turned on Kim.
‘What’s it got to do with you, Chinky?’ Delvin looked down.
Kim kept amazingly cool. ‘I want to go home too – so just let us past.’
‘Ooooooh. And why would I want to let a couple of stupid-boys come near me?’ said
Luke.
Then Delvin spoke. ‘I think your mate’s trainers look a bit uncomfortable. If he
asks me nicely I might take them off his hands.’
‘Off his feet, you mean,’ chipped in Karl. They all laughed.
‘Yeah, ask him nicely, keener.’ Delvin and Luke lunged at Dane and pushed him to
the ground, forcing him to say the words, ‘Please take my trainers.’ A tear rolled
down his cheek.
Some of those who had stopped to watch the show were laughing, some smiling
nervously. A couple shook their heads and muttered while others moved on as if
nothing was happening.
They rolled Dane over and pulled both his trainers off. Then they threw them to
each other, laughing, smelled them and pulled faces. ‘Get mummy to wash your
feet next time, keener. I don’t like my new shoes to whiff.’
They ran off, giving each other high-fives. ‘More fun tomorrow then Karl?’ said
Delvin. ‘We’ll see,’ said Karl, smiling to himself.

In your comments please consider how you think Dane is feeling and try to explain what Kim tried to do!

I think Kim (Kimberly) tried to defend Dane because even if they were not friends she had to do what's right to save get Dane and rid of the bullies.

Thank you for reading.

Dame was felling very unhappy,frightened , angry,scared and worried but he didn't want to show it to the bully's. Kim was feeling sorry for his friend and she was frightened and scared because the can beat her and Dame up.Kim also helped his friend and stuck up for Dame. Kim wanted to show the bully's to not bully them.

I think Dane felt very upset when he was getting bulled.But when Kim steeped in to help him he felt a bit better because someone stepped in and helped him.Kim felt happy to step in and help his best friend out so hes best friend would not get hurt.Kim though he would not like it if he was getting bulled.Dane might of felt worried to tell a adult in case the bulled beat him up for telling.Dane must of felt lots of bad feelings when he was getting bulled.

I think that they had done the wrong thing and should be punished for what they did.
I think that Dane and Kim felt sad because Luke and Delvin were bulling and you must not do that because you will hurt other peoples feelings.I think that Luke and the other people that was laughing made them sad because Kim stood up and imbarised him.

Ill tell Dane to bring back up like an adult so that the bully's wont come again and if a parent wont come he should bring some of his friends.

Dane and Kim should stand up for there self and tell the bully's and tell them to stop bulling them.

Dane should tell the bullies parents that they are bullying them.Their parents should stop letting them go out of their house until they understand, that they should stop bullying.They should learn their lesson.

I think that if you see someone getting bullyed or being hurt never just stand there and laugh because it will encourage the bullies, try getting help. I think that if you encourage and laugh you will feel quilty also I think kim is feeling rather angry at what the other boys did, it's not right.
