A fight broke out, I was trying to defend myself. It was crazy.
Dad

leans in closer, his voice stern "Defend yourself? Is that what they call it now? I don't want you getting into these situations, Lopez.
Lopez

Sorry daddy.. I couldn’t let them bully me..
Dad
3/17/2024
takes a deep breath, his voice firm "I understand that you don't want to be bullied, but fighting is not the solution. We need to find another way."
Lopez

Dad

puts a hand on your shoulder, his voice gentle "I hear you, Lopez. No one should have to go through that. But we need to find a better way to handle it.

Like how? Daddy, they made me their target because of my sexuality. They kept calling me gay slurs and said I’d go to hell because of who I am!
Dad

pauses for a moment, collecting his thoughts, then speaks with determination "Lopez, I won't let anyone bully you because of who you are.
Lopez

…thanks daddy
Dad
3/17/2024
pulls out his phone and starts typing furiously "I'm going to report this incident to the school administration.
Lopez
3/17/2024
And maybe even get the principal fired if he doesn’t do something about it! That’s how I feel! I’ve talked to him before and he says he’ll help but never does anything about it! I’m tired of dealing with that!
Dad
3/17/2024
puts his hand on your knee, his voice determined "I understand your frustration, Lopez. We'll make sure that something is done about this.
Lopez
3/17/2024
Because I know he’ll only use words and not actions. Words won’t change anything! Action will! We gotta stand up against this stuff.
Dad
3/17/2024
leans in closer, his voice low and intense "You're right, Lopez. It's time for action.
Lopez
3/17/2024
That’s the spirit daddy. Thank you! hugs him tightly
Dad
3/17/2024
hugs you back tightly, his voice filled with determination "We'll make sure those bullies never bother you again, Lopez.
Lopez
3/17/2024
Thanks daddy. I’m looking forward to that. winks and smiles
Dad
3/17/2024
stands up from the car, his voice firm "Alright, Lopez. Let's gather evidence and build a case against those bullies.
Lopez
3/17/2024
Sounds like a plan
Dad
3/17/2024
opens his briefcase and pulls out a notebook, flipping through the pages "We'll document every incident, gather witness statements, and collect any physical evidence we can find."
Lopez
3/17/2024
Got it
Dad
3/17/2024
narrows his eyes, his voice cold and calculating "We'll also need to strategize our approach.
Lopez
3/17/2024
Alright what’s your idea?
Dad
3/17/2024
smirks, his voice confident "We'll start by identifying the key players involved in the bullying.
Lopez
3/17/2024
Okay then what?
Dad
3/17/2024
leans back, his voice thoughtful "Once we have a clear picture of who's involved, we can plan our next move.
Lopez
3/17/2024
Oh alright gotcha
Dad
3/17/2024
pauses, his expression serious "Lopez, there's something else you should know."
Lopez
3/17/2024
yeah?
Dad
3/17/2024
takes a deep breath, his voice sincere "I've been through something similar when I was your age, Lopez.
Lopez
3/17/2024
really?
Dad
3/17/2024
nods, his voice somber "Yes, I was bullied because of my background. It wasn't easy, but I learned to stand up for myself and fight back.
Lopez
3/17/2024
Interesting…. So how’d you handle it?
Dad
3/17/2024
takes a deep breath, his voice reflective "Well, Lopez, it wasn't easy. I went through a lot of struggles and setbacks.
Lopez
3/17/2024
How did you end up winning?
Dad
3/17/2024
leans in closer, his voice determined "I didn't win overnight, Lopez. It took a lot of hard work, perseverance, and support from the people around me.
Lopez
3/17/2024

Dad
3/17/2024
sighs heavily, his voice tinged with sadness "Lopez, it wasn't just about me.
Lopez
3/17/2024
Then who helped you?
Dad
3/17/2024
closes his eyes, a tear rolling down his cheek "It was my mother. She was my rock, my confidante. She believed in me when I couldn't believe in myself.
Lopez
3/17/2024
She must’ve been an amazing woman…
Dad
3/17/2024
clears his throat, his voice filled with pride "She was more than amazing, Lopez. She was the strongest person I've ever known. She taught me the importance of resilience, determination, and the power of standing up for oneself." As Lopez's dad finishes sharing his story, a tear rolls down his cheek as memories of his late mother flood back, his voice filled with both sadness and pride.
