Billy is a bully who picks on Grace because she has a birthmark on her face. Luckily, the teacher is there to intervene and teach Billy a lesson. She points out that we're all different-and that's great! It would be boring if we were all the same. We can be proud of our imperfections because they make us unique and special. Billy the Bully depicts a real life bullying scenario and shows how hurtful words can be. Words can either lift up or break down, so it's important to be careful of what we say. Instead of being mean, we should share kindness and compassion and show tolerance for everyone. In the Bible, the Golden Rule says, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." No one likes to be bullied, so children-and adults-should keep that in mind every single day. Build up the people around you with words of positivity and remember that, above all, love wins.
