Sticky Situation

At the mall, Artie sees Steven, a new student at his school who recently moved from Kenya. Steven hasn't made any friends and is sitting alone in the food court. Artie wants to say hello, but a couple of friends are sitting nearby. He hears them making fun of Steven's accent and clothes. What should Artie do?

She should set the example and sit with him. If her friends see her with him, they might be nicer and quit making fun of him.

I think Artie should to be friends with Steven even through people make fun of him.

She should tell them to stop and get a life, what if they were from a different country and they got made fun of!

Jasmine said...

I think that Artie should just go make friends with stefan and ignore the people making fun of Stefan

Henry said...

It doesnt matter what other people think. Just go talk to her and make new friends.
GO Artie GO, go make new friends!

To tell those little "bullies" that you have a problem with them messing with Steven, and that those fools probably don't have a life anyway. So hang out with the dude and be friends. See? Easy.

i thik artie should go and sit with the new kid. Also, he should tell the kids behind the new kid to stop making fun of him.

She should just sit with him and I think they could be friends because Steven may look weird but he could funny and nice. It always happens to me there's someone I don't know and some people make fun of him or her but I get to know them and we become friends. So I think Artie should introduce Steven to her friends or just get to know Steven.

I think Artie should be friends with Steven. I think this because what if you were a new student from another country? Wouldn't you want some friends?

Artie should go tell a teacher or tell them that she didnt like what they were saying about her.

Jasmine said...

I think that Artie should should go sit with him because it wouldn't be nice if they were from a different country and everyone teased them

I thin Artie should just sit with him. He wouldn't want to be excluded if he was from a different place right? :)

If he wants him to be his friend then why not doesnt matter what other people think of him.Just if you like him.

Sit with him bro! don't hesitate! If they make fun of you when you your sitting with him then they are not really your friends are they?

Artie should go say hello to Steven and if his friends make fun of him, he should stop being thier friends.

Artie should just go talk to Steven and just ignore Artie's other friends. Plus if Artie's friends are making fun of his clothes and accent, he should just not be friends with them. It's Stevens culture.
