NAME CALLING
Name Calling - A friend of yours insults a classmate by calling her names. Your classmate was born male and now identifies as female. You were at primary school with her and you remember her when she identified as a boy. Since she began to identify as female some of her friends no longer talk to her and you can tell that the name-calling is upsetting her.
TRAIN OF THOUGHT TRAIN OF THOUGHT - - I wish my friend would stop calling her names but I don t want my friend to fall out with me if I challenge it No one else is doing anything ... Maybe they think it s ok, but I feel bad watching this ... At least I m not joining in, but how will she know that I don t agree with what s being said if I don t speak up? ... Why don't her friends talk to her anymore, or better still stand up for her? ... I know how hurt I would feel if that was me ... What should I do?
OPTIONS 1. Do nothing. It s none of your business. 2. Quickly change the subject to divert attention. 3. Ask your classmate if she is ok and let her know you didn t like what happened. 4.
