I Wish Everyone Would Learn To Show Compassion To Others So That Everyone Would Be Happier In Life And With Themselves

I wish that everyone would learn to show and practice compassion towards people less fortunate than themselves and just people in general. Compassion is defined as a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering. I think it's important to try our hardest to show compassion to the people close to us in our lives and even the people we meet on a day to day basis. It's important not to judge people because of their circumstances or misfortunes because someday we could find ourselves in that same position but sometimes it's hard to think that way. I believe that if everyone made themselves concious of how they view and treat the people around them, even people they may not like, the world would be a much more careing and happy place.

What I Would Do If A Bully Was Bothering Me And Who Would I Tell And What Would I Say

If a bully in school was bothering me I would try hard to stand up for myself and let them know that it was not okay! I would try and work it out with that person and tell them that what they were doing to me was really hurting my feelings. I would want to give this person a chance to apologize and to recognize that what they are doing is wrong. If that didnt work, the people I would tell would be an Adult like mommy, Aunty, or a teacher I trust like Ms Sarah. I would find it a bit embrassing to admit I was being bullied but I would try and tell the trusted adult or even one of my sisters what was going on and ask them for advice and help to stop the bully.
