BULLYING

Seeing Francisco's injuries, his neighbors became angry because he never messed with anyone, much less hurt or humiliated anyone.

Then one of the neighbors asked: "Francisco, what happened? Who did this to you? Why did they attack you like this?

Francisco replied: "I don't know, only that they started to bother me weeks ago, but it became strong when they bullied me and the attacks of my colleagues towards me became stronger and stronger when they saw that I was skinny and that I did not say anything to anyone. , but I don't know why they started bothering me or attacking me in this way; but I didn't say anything to anyone because I remembered what my dad told me once: that he went through the same thing I'm going through and that he didn't do anything or say anything because he knew that sooner or later, they would stop with everything this and he trusted that it would be so "

"Your dad is a wise man, and yes, follow his advice: don't let anyone see you hurt and have faith that things will change," his godfather told him.

"I will do that, godfather, but I will not stay in bed because I have my sick mother and my little brothers who need me and who will always need me; regardless of whether they have grown up or not," said Francisco to his friends.

"Francisco, calm down because I'm going to be in charge and your neighbors also count on us for everyone; Besides, Francisco you are still a child who needs protection, love, affection, tenderness, and who cares about you, "his godfather told him.

"But it is a lot to ask for a godfather since you all have life and both my mother and my little brothers and I do not want you to neglect your lives for us. Don't worry that we'll be fine; Besides, we will see how to get ahead "said Francisco.

"Not Francisco, none of that, you have wounds that need to be healed and we have always protected and defended ourselves; so we will not abandon them," his godfather told him.

"OK godfather and thanks for everything," said Francisco.

"You do not have to be grateful because we will do it with all love and pleasure because you are also our family," said one of the neighbors.

"Anyway, thank you because in these moments is when you need someone to take care of you and much more so since my father left, we never heard from him again," said Francisco.

"Your dad must be busy but, when he has time, he'll call I'm sure of that," said one of his neighbors to Francisco.

They all shut up because they saw that Francisco was crying and seeing how fragile he was, they decided to stop this conversation and change the subject for something more pleasant. They were talking about the dreams that each one has and their aspirations in life.
