Many people think of bully (欺凌) as one child pushing or hitting another, but bullying is not only physical. When I was in junior high, the girls in my class would laugh at me or ask questions designed to embarrass (使….窘迫) me. Once a girl looked at me and shouted loudly, " I don't want to sit next to her!"

Be kind

You may not think of yourself as a bully, but do you make jokes at others' expense (消费) ? If the other person isn't laughing, your words or actions may hurt more than you think.

Speak up

If you notice one person bullying another, please tell them to stop. Many bullies are motivated (刺激) by a desire to look cool, so if you tell them you are not cool, then they'll stop.

Be confident

If you're being bullied, don't try it face it alone; but ask a parent or other trusted adult for help. Similarly, in places where bullying happens, stay close to a friend since bullies often target people who are alone. When you're being bullied, walk away calmly. If you don't seem scared, the bully may lose interest in you.

Remember that what is happening it not your mistake. You are valuable (有价值的) for who you are.

When you travel in China, you can often see some very special puppets (木偶) in many gift shops. They are thin, colorful, made of animal skin (皮) and in all kinds of shapes. They are traditional Chinese shadow puppets.

The Chinese shadow puppet play (皮影戏) is an old art. It's also called "the business of the five", because a shadow puppet play group is usually made up of five people. One moves the puppets, one sings and the other three play instruments.
