The text
An incident that happened at
school when I was 10 years old
really stuck in my mind. One of the
boys in the class was being picked
on by some older boys. The rest of
us were too afraid to help him
because we didn’t want to get
beaten up too. It went on for ages
before I eventually found the
courage to say something to the
teacher(….)

(….) But on the day that I
had decided to speak up,
the boy told us all that he
was leaving the school and
moving to another city. I
always felt bad about that
afterwards.
