Also, today at school, a boy said that I would get hurt in football and said I would get tackled at the beginning of the game, and another boy said I would get hit. Then another boy said, "No, they wouldn't. Not to a girl they wouldn't." That made me feel bad, because I'm a girl and I'm strong and I can do the things a boy can do. Girls have strength. Girls have pride.
I thought this was something that happened in the olden days, but I was wrong. It still happens. I want to show them that they are wrong. But if you don't even let us play the sports, then how will we get good at them and then how can we prove them wrong?
Boys and girls are all humans. We should act like it. We know how to be kind. You can be kind to other boys, which means you can be kind to girls.
Things that you can do to be kind to others (a list):
- You can be kind by adding people in.
- You can also be kind by not being narrow-minded about other people.
- You are the same as everybody.
- If you ever get teased or bullied, it's also kind to just talk. If that doesn't work, tell a grownup. Or, if that doesn't work, prove to them that you are not what they said you are.
- You are being a little bullying if you say that someone can not do something that you are doing.
