He’S Not Just Teasing

Malcom is energetic and sporty and especially loves football. Malcolm is, also, a little distracted and has trouble focusing sometimes. This can get him in trouble at school and at times makes it difficult for him to keep his mind on the game when playing sport.

His friends joke around with him about mistakes, but they all tease each other a little in good fun. They may tease and joke about each other, but they’re close friends and really care.

However, when Joe teases Malcolm, it seems different. It’s mean-spirited and it feels like Malcolm is Joe’s only target. It’s has become increasingly hurtful and sometimes Joe purposefully excludes Malcolm.

Malcolm realises that Joe is now bullying! With the help of Carlos, his good friend and a trusted adult, Malcolm is able to stand up to Joe.
