I love my little sister. Of course we fight as much as any other siblings do and we like to push each other and such, but that's just normal isn't it? That's what a lot of families do, but at the end of the day we know we still love and care for each other.

And so, my sis told our parents and I a certain classmate of hers. This isn't the first time she shared about her classmate either (we'll just call her classmate "M"). M, from my sis' stories, is someone who is very mean to her for a while now (they're in Grade 2 BTW). I have no idea what M's like to other students, but from what my sis told me she is PARTICULARLY mean to mostly just her for some random reason. Insulting her, ruining some of her schoolwork or whatever, leaving her out of games, talking bad about her, etc.

And so, like we always do whenever yet another issue about M arises, my parents and I give my sis all sorts of advice and support. In fact, just earlier on I had a pretty long chat with my sis. I told her that she should NEVER be afraid to tell the teacher or any other responsible adult about M's behaviour and that it isn't wrong at all to stand up for herself. Luckily, my sis is a fairly strong kid and she honestly doesn't care that much about M and doesn't let her self-esteem get lowered by her. Plus, I'm grateful that my sis has some good friends around her.

Buuut back to M... I know that she's a little kid, and I literally know nothing about her personal life whatsoever. However, that absolutely does NOT make it acceptable for her to act like such a little turd! Bullying is TERRIBLE--period, EXCLAMATION POINT!!! As M is very young and not that smart/mature yet, I know I shouldn't hold too much against her. But what would happen if the bullying gets worse, and not only my sis is targeted? Problems like this SERIOUSLY needs to be addressed, especially for M's family to know just what a (please forgive me) lil fuck she is!

I'm truly sorry for the rant, I just needed to get it off my system! But, like the title said, this is a matter that is EXTREMELY near and dear to my heart. Bullying doesn't discriminate; it doesn't matter if you're young or old, black or white, educated or not educated, etc. Sadly, bullying will never go away. But what we CAN do is that we can at least try--try to be nice to someone. Try to include someone. Try to help someone. I know that's not always the case, though. We don't live in a utopian fairytale world, and no one is perfect and not everyone can get along. But, again, we can at least TRY. With that, the majority of people can at least tolerate each other and perhaps somewhere along the way great new friendships will be formed!

I would do almost anything for my sis (and just my family/any other loved ones in general) if it's to my abilities. Whenever necessary, I will fight tooth and nail for her. I will protect her no matter what, but I will also scold her if need be. This whole thing about M just REALLY makes my blood boil a lot, and if it was only possible then I'd like nothing more than to stick close to my sis in her school and have a few...words with M. Maybe it's the older overprotective sister persona speaking within me, but I will do ANYTHING to ensure that my sis has an awesome life.

I hope and pray that as M grows older, she'll learn from her mistakes and become better. Who knows, maybe she'll even be friends with my sis one day! But if not, then... *Cracks knuckles*

Hehehe... Love y'all~ 😘😘😘
