Bullying is a terrible thing. Kids who are bullied feel a lot of pain. Sometimes the pain never goes away. But I heard a wonderful story about a teacher who stood up for a bullied student in a unique and creative way. You are going to love this story!

The teacher's name is Mrs Johns. She teaches third grade. One day, one of her students came to school with a new hairstyle. The student had two buns on top of her head, a style that is called "space buns."

The girl looked adorable. However, none of the other kids in the class had ever worn this hairstyle, and they made fun of her. They called her mean names. The girl was devastated.

So was Mrs. Johns. Knowing that one of her precious students was being bullied made her heart hurt. You won't believe what she did next. She came up with the perfect plan that made the bullied little girl feel better and also taught the other students an important lesson.

The next day, Mrs. Johns put her plan into action. When she walked into the classroom, the little girl who had been bullied did a double-take. Then the little girl had the most beautiful grin on her face. Mrs. Johns had styled her hair into space buns that looked just like the little girl's.

The other kids in the class, the ones who had bullied the little girl, peppered Mrs. Johns with questions. They wanted to know why she had done her hair that way. Mrs. Johns told them she did it to show that it's okay to be different.

She said it's okay to stand out.

Mrs was a great day for the little girl, but what happened next is even more amazing. The other kids in the class were inspired by what Mrs. Johns did and what she said to them. Many of them came in the next day wearing space buns too!

The little girl was as happy as she had ever been in her life. Just as important, the other kids in the class learned an important lesson. They learned there is nothing wrong with being yourself, even if that is different from everyone else.

They learned that they shouldn't bully kids who are different but should celebrate them instead.

Mrs. Johns was thrilled that the other kids learned to accept differences, and she was relieved that the girl who had been bullied came through it okay and was not scarred by the experience.

Mrs. Johns wrote about the experience on Social Media, and she posted a picture of herself and the little girl with their matching space buns. Her post went viral. A lot of people were touched by it.

What about you? Did it touch you too? Do you agree that it is important to do something to stop bullying? Do you have any ideas about what can be done? Show this story to your friends. Maybe they will have some good ideas too.
