Recommended: Bullying and how it affects our lives

Narrative

On that December 2, 2014 I learned a very valuable lesson. It all started right after lunch when I was getting under Jim's skin. “Please stop!” stated Jim.I could almost see the enfiggerateing rage in his face. I replied,”Or what, your gonna hit me with your purse?” I finally left him alone after I said those horrible nasty words. Later that day, I was still at school sitting waiting on the bell. I looked up and saw Jim giving out invitations to his birthday party. As I continued to watch he threw mine away. Walking up to to him I asked, “ Do I get to go?” Jim answered, “No, I do not want a bully at any party of mine.”After school I dragged my feet home with a depressed look in my eye.
“Hey mom,” I stated.
Mom replied, “Hey, …show more content…

“I mainly feel bad about bullying Jim, but also i did not get to go to his party.”
“Maybe you should be nicer to jim,” mom replied.
“You're right mom I should treat others the way I want to be treated.” I stated.
“exactly,” mom replied.
The next day at school I was on my way to apologize to him. I told him ,” I'm sorry for being a bully, do you forgive me?”
Jim answered,”Yes we can be friends.”
“I realize now I should treat people right.” I implied.As the day went on I countined to be nice. I complemented people, encouraged them and just be a all around nice guy. The thing about being nice, some people don’t like it.
As I became a more kind person I lost many friends. Most of them were not accepting to my new lifestyle. As always I would tell them I hope you become a more generous person, but usually it's a no, which is depressing.
My most devastating lost friend in this journey was Billey.On the day i lost him it sounded like this.
“Hey Billy, what's up?” I implied.
“Oh, hey Devin can you leave me alone?” Billy asked.
“Why, what did I do?” I asked.
“nothing it's just I ordered you to bully Jim and you stopped.” He …show more content…

    It helps to understand that we should be kind no matter what happens in a friendship. I always want to feel generous with my kindness. In the Odyssey Circe went behind Odysseus back by adding vile in the drinks after seating Odysseus men on thrones. “On thrones she seated them, and lounging chairs, while she prepared a meal of cheese and barley and amber honey mixed with Pramnian wine, adding her own pinch, to make them lose desire or thought of our dear fatherland.” (Homer 10.27-31) This is an example of the bad hospitality Circe gave to her guest. By this we can tell that we couldn't trust her in a friendship. In order to have a great friendship you need to have trust, support and

    Friendship is like a flower. It must work hard to spread its roots to obtain nutrients, build a strong stem to maintain balance, and develop a bud to fight against the elements. All of these steps are important and a flower cannot bloom until each phase is complete. Much like the phases of friendship.
