Alex's Story 2
Storyboard Text
- You again! Why are you always around me and annoying me?
- Why should I tell him... My problems are none of his business... but... he could help... no, I'll only get in trouble if I tell him.
- I've seen you bullying a few kids in the neighbourhood recently. I was wondering why. You used to be really nice. What happened?
- Good morning Alex, how are you doing?
- Well... ever since our family adopted little Jakey, he's been the center of attention and I don't get much attention from my parents. He's always the priority of my parents because he's young and he needs care and all that...
- *Sigh* I guess... but I've tried for a long time, it's never worked...
- My parents never spend much time with me and I feel lonely everyday at home... and so I started hating little kids because... well...
- Because you thought they took all the attention... Alex... I understand... Look, it's up to you, but I'm willing to help you.
- Look, I don't know what's happened in your life. But, I want you to know that I'm here to help. Whatever you tell me, will only be a secret between us two. I promise. So, could you tell me what's happening?
- Hey... um... I know I haven't exactly been nice to you recently and I've done some really horrible things to you lately.
- It's ok... We may be little and we may not understand what situation you're in right now but... we hope you'll be alright.. we appreciate your apology.
- I just wanted to say that I'm...sorry for being so selfish and being so mean to you. You never did anything wrong...and I should not have treated you so wrongly. It's my fault... could you forgive me?
- Thanks. That means a lot to me. I'm really sorry for what I've done, I promise it'll never happen again.
- Toby was a neighbour of Alex and he was slightly older than him. For a few days, he had witnessed Alex bullying the little kids. After a week, he couldn't stand it any longer and he decided to approach Alex and talk to him about the bullying.
- Hi... um... I just wanted to talk to you both privately about me and Jakey...
- I've reflected on the things I've said and I know I shouldn't have rejected Jakey so selfishly. I've learnt from my mistakes now and I'm willing to accept him as part of our family.
- Ever since Jakey came, I didn't get to spend much time with you... and I know he needs more time care then I do but I just felt really neglected and lonely.
- It's great you've learnt and reflected from your mistakes Alex. We also have to apologize for not spending much time with you. We promise that will change from now on. We're really proud of you, Alex.
- Toby knew something wasn't right. Alex used to be a really nice person! What could've happened that changed him so much? He really wanted to help him and so he offers to help.
- Hey Toby, thanks for helping me resolve my situation. I really apprecitae it.
- I'm afraid so... yes... I'll write a formal apology to them and their parents and admit my faults.
- It's great that I'm able to help! But unfortunately I think you should still receive a consequence for your bullying... I mean, simply apologizing to those poor kids isn't enough
- I think that's a great idea. I'm sure their parents would appreciate your apology.
- Toby suggests that Alex apologizes to the little kids he bullied (without explaining too much since they wouldn't understand anyways). Thankfully, the little kids accepted Alex's sincere apology.
- ~~~~The End~~~~
- After apologizing to the little kids, Toby suggests that Alex had a friendly chat privately with his parents about the situation. He told him to not become frustrated and ask them senesibly if they could give him just a little more attention.
- I'm not asking for much... but I was wondering if you could maybe consider spending more time with me... so that we can all still be the happy family like we used to be?
- After that Alex meets up with Toby again to thank him. Alex decides that simply apologizing to the little kids he bullied wasn't enough, he decides to write a formal apology and to explain the situation honestly to the little kids and their parents to let them know that he was really sorry.
- Bullying always has consequences, even if the situation ends in a good way.
- Alex has now resolved his problem with his family and he's apologized to the little kids and their parents. Everything was resolved and life was back to normal.~The End~
