T.O.T.S.- The Bully Problem - The Script

Scene 12

PIP: I never really expected to be bullied once I first joined T.O.T.S. as a Junior Flyer with Freddy. I never expected that at all. I heard this saying once: "Everything happens for a reason" I wouldn't really say it's a saying, it's more of a message to me. I'll get to that later. When I was first being bullied in Iceberg Alley, I thought that it was a sort of place that is fun, cool, and full of awesomeness and amazing birds and animals. I was definitely wrong. That place was the total opposite!

PIP: Instead of me feeling the three C's (cold, cool, and confident), I felt like I was sunburned! And let me say, penguins don't get sunburned. If you know what I'm saying. Iceberg Alley was my home. The place I was born and felt like myself. Well, I felt that way at first. But once I started getting bullied there, I was practically sliding on the opposite side of Mount Iceberg! And now, Iceberg Alley didn't seem like my home anymore, even if it was the place I was born. All of my classmates were bullying me during the day and also at the end. My parents didn't want to do anything with me. The only good friend I had at the time was Freddy and he is still a very good friend standing. We've known each other for a long time. Probably before Iceberg Alley started selling Ice Pops.

PIP: I didn't know that not long after me and Freddy got picked to be Junior Flyers, I was also being bullied at T.O.T.S by Hunter. Boy, was that dude a pain in my beak! I wanted to peck his eyes out! Hunter was definitely not a nice Flier at all like I thought he was. Sure, he might have been a nice dude to other birds and such, but definitely not me. So yeah, that was basically a recap on me being bullied over the years. But this speech ain't over yet.

PIP: Let's go back to that saying or message I said earlier: "Everything happens for a reason". And that's kind of true actually. Maybe when I was being bullied in Iceberg Alley was actually a good thing. Maybe there's a good and a bad side to that. Bad side, it was definitely showing me that I was going to be bullied all my life and there was nothing I could do. The good side was that it showed me that there are more things that are coming for me. Whether it's something good or bad, there's always going to be something new for me to experience. Taking new experiences is something I thought would always be something bad. It's not only bad experiences but also good ones.

PIP: Bullying is something I never imagined happening to me. And I know you guys can relate. I also never expected getting picked to be a Junior Flyer either. But not all things turn out how you expect them to. I've known that saying for a while. So, Krysia wants me to tell you guys this saying she made up that she told me: "Don't take risks that are worth taking but take risks that are worth helping others." I felt like I wasn't going to stand much of a chance compared to Hunter. And I was right on that one. Krysia kept taking a risk. She didn't take a risk because it might have been risk taking but it was pretty much a risk to help me. If I didn't let her take that risk, I would already be in Hunter's stomach by now!

PIP: Krysia stood up for me because I felt like I couldn't. I kept keeping my guard down. But, you do have to know that when you're being bullied, don't do what I did! What I did was not worth anything. All it did was keep me weak and not strong like I imagined. I can't even imagine myself having muscles! And I don't think that would make me stronger even though I think most of you are thinking it would. Also, I'm learning this too, you can't always have your friends stick up for you. I mean, you can but you also need to stick up for yourself.

PIP: I realized that since I was being bullied in Iceberg Alley and at T.O.T.S., I feel like I changed. Well, not in a bad way. A good way! I'm changing myself! I feel like I've become this new me. I feel more confident, outgoing, and even smarter than how I was. And also, I feel like my friendship with Freddy has certainly changed. With all of those rumors about me going around and me and Freddy were ignoring each other for a little while, I feel like our friendship got stronger when we thought it wouldn't. Things can change. No matter if they are good or bad. Things happen! And now, since Hunter has stopped bullying me, I feel like that was meant to happen. For me to be bullied and to start seeing something different.

PIP: Changes don't always have to be bad. They can be good especially when you are in a situation that I was in. I want you guys to remember these 3 sayings/messages:

Everything happens for a reason

Not all things turn out the way you expect them to

Don't take risks that are worth taking but take risks that are worth helping others

PIP: Whenever you are in a situation that I was in, remember those sayings I just listed and also, remember that as long as you have people that are there for you, always happy to have you as a friend, etc, you can get through anything! I guess that's really it. Hope you all enjoy that speech I just said and have a snow-cool life!
