There is a purpose for everyone. What that purpose is, no one really knows. Maybe it’s to stand up for others, or to help others get stronger. We are all guilty of being a bystander, or worse a perpetrator… I was in band the other day one of the boys took the cymbals and bashed them in one of my friend’s ears while she was reading. I didn’t say anything about it though, the teacher didn’t say anything either. I guess it’s what I deserve; the boy clashed the cymbals in my ears too. Except, when he did it to me I was filmed… If I could go back I’d probably talk to the teacher for not saying anything. It seems that I was to learn from this, from now on I will try to be an upstander. (No one’s perfect and every single person should know that.)
