What would you do if someone you didn’t know was beign harrassed? Step in, step out, step around?
I was inspired by this story, set in Nova Scotia, about a boy who wore a pink T-shirt to school and was harrassed by bullies. After hearing what had happened, two grade 12 boys in the school decided to take a stand.
