DIALOGUE -- Tània Alonso

Option 1:

You suspect a friend of yours is a bully but he/she does not want to acknowledge it. Write a conversation with him/her in which you explain why you think he/she should stop this behaviour. Suggest possible measures to help him/her fight this addiction.

JUNE 2013

Me and my friend, Marc, on the way to school we are talking about his behavior and why he should stop it.

Tània:  Marc do you know that what you do is wrong, don’t you? Because you are hurting a lot of people doing this.

Marc:  I can’t believe what you’re saying! You’re my friend and you should support me.

Tània: You don’t know what you’re saying, what you do is unforgivable. You should think about it because I’m sure you wouldn’t like if somebody do it to you.

Marc: So if I’m such a bad person, why don’t you stop talking to me?

Tània: I’m here to help you because you’re my friend. You can start apologizing to them. And then, we can talk about what’s next.

Marc: OK, but with a condition, you must be always by my side. 

Tània: Of course, we’re friends and we’ll ever be friends.
