Storyboard Text
Nice shirt! It looks like it's for babies!
Oh no, Marissa is upset.
I laughed at Marissa alongside the other girls, and I did not stick up for her.
I should have stuck up for my friend and stood by her side to let her know she's not alone.
Marissa, I am so sorry that I laughed at you. I was nervous around those girls and did not know how to act. I should've told them to stop and comforted you.
I forgive you, Grace. Wanna come over after school?
I'd like that. By the way, I love your shirt!
Something happened that upset someone else.
I need to accept my role and take responsibility for my part in what happened.
I need to think about how I could've responded differently and what to do in a situation like this next time.
I need to make things right and apologize sincerely.
