BITE – Friends with Teacher

12/05/22 • 4 min

Friends are like flowers. There are lots of different ones out there, but you pick a couple to be your favourites.

But what about your teacher? Can you be friends with them? And if they're a friend, can they still be a good teacher?

Thank you to Orli for this great question!

Pssst, we love your favourite episode too! 'Are parents hypocrites?' was a goodie.

Bullying is being mean to someone over and over again. It can happen at home, school, online, on the bus... and it's not always physical.

When you're bullied, you can feel hurt, angry, and sad, all at once.

So, if a bully hurts you, can you hurt them back? Can you call it justice?

Thank you to Athena for this great question!

If you love watching cartoons where the good guys battle the bad, it probably has fighting, explosions, and maybe guns too.

Is it okay to watch violence if it's in a cartoon? Can we laugh and find it funny?

Thank you to Linus for this exciting question!
