1. I will refuse to join them in making jokes about the classmate because being short is not his/ her mistake. Because it is not good to make fun of a person’s height. I will ask them to put themselves into my classmate’s shoes so that they can understand his/ her feelings.
2. I will tell my friend that this is a talent show not a beauty show. She can completely win the show if she really has talents. I will advise my friend not to judge a book by its cover.
3. I won’t accept the invitation and chat in person with my friend to ask him to delete the post because it is a completely bad idea to make jokes about their weight. I will ask him/ her to imagine how she/he feel when he/she is also be abuse like that.
