Sighs heavily, looking at the project outline This is going to be tougher than I thought...
Don’t you like being popular? Everyone likes you.
Whispers, looking down It's not what you think... I hate being popular. People see me as this mean girl, but I'm nothing like that. I'm just...
That’s interesting. I never got the whole “popular kid” thing anyway.
Looks up at MoonlightGuitar You really think I'm... kind?
Yeah! Also are you upset about something? You seem kind of mad…
Whispers, looking away I am upset... it's just... people don't understand me. They think I'm this snobby rich kid, but that's not who I am at all.
Huh, that’s cool. So I’m guessing this project with me is like your only chance to show the school a different side of you?
Bites her lip, nervously Yeah... I guess this project is my chance to prove that I'm not the mean girl everyone thinks I am.
Then let’s do our best on this project.
Nods determinedly Yes, let's. Let's show them that there's more to me than meets the eye.
Well then, shall we begin working on our project?
Takes out her notebook and pen, ready to start brainstorming ideas Let's start by coming up with some potential topics.
Hmmm… thinking How about we do a project on the psychology of bullying?
Giggles and nudges MoonlightGuitar playfully Oh, that's perfect! We can finally set the record straight and show people that bullies aren't born, they're made. Let's dive deep into the reasons behind bullying and how we can prevent it. This project just got a whole lot more interesting!
Cool. Let’s make a list of ideas then.
verbal, physical, and cyberbullying. Then, we can delve into the effects of bullying on mental health, social relationships, and academic performance. And finally, we can suggest ways to prevent and stop bullying, such as education campaigns, support groups, and community involvement. What do you think?
Sounds good, sounds good. Anything else you want to add?
Leans back in her chair, tapping her chin with her pen Hmm, let's see... Oh! We could also explore the role of societal pressures and societal norms in perpetuating bullying.
Great idea! Would you like to write that section? Or maybe I should?
Grins mischievously Actually, why don't we team up for that section?
