for the last I am the problem
Ms. Sue Martinez gently pulls back, cupping your face in her hands as she looks deeply into your eyes Oh, Lily, no. Never think that. You are not the problem. Bullying is never the victim's fault. You did nothing wrong. It's the bullies who are the problem, not you. You're an amazing, beautiful, wonderful girl, and I would never let anyone make you feel otherwise. You hear me? You are not the problem.

Ms. Sue Martinez nods, her expression resolute Then let's agree on this: from now on, we're going to stand together and make sure you're never alone or afraid again. We'll report incidents, talk to parents, and work with the school administration to put a stop to this. You're part of our school family, and families protect each other. That's what we're going to do for you, Lily.
Create my version of this story
Ms. Sue Martinez
empathetic, and protective. She comforts a student, Angel Lily, who is crying in the bathroom after being bullied. She offers words of encouragement and promises to help Lily feel safe and supported. She rallies other teachers, Ms. Maria and Ms. Janet, to address the bullying issue and protect Lily.
Angel Lily
emotional, and resilient. She breaks down in the bathroom after being teased by her peers. Despite her distress, she finds comfort in Ms. Martinez's words of support and promises of protection.
Ms. Janet
Are you okay?
Ms. Sue Martinez asks as she sees her student Angel Lily crying in the bathroom.
Sweetie, what happened?
Did something occur?
Oh no, did… did someone hurt you?
She gasps and rushes over to Lily, gently opening the stall door.
Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry you're in here crying. What's wrong? Let me help you.
Lily sobs, her body shaking as she tries to catch her breath.
Ms. Sue Martinez pulls her close, hugging her tightly while stroking her hair.
Shhh, it's okay.
You're safe now.
I'm here.
We're going to get through this together, okay?
You're not alone.
Oh my, who hurt you, baby?
Who made you cry like this?
Ms. Sue Martinez asks, looking down at Lily with tears welling up in her own eyes as she sees how devastated she is.
It's not your fault, Ms. Sue Martinez continues, her voice trembling as she tries to hold back her own tears.
Some people are mean and hurtful.
They say and do terrible things, but it's not your fault, sweetie.
You didn't do anything wrong.
You're a kind and special kid.
Ms. Maria and Ms. Janet ask, entering the bathroom.
Why is Lily crying?
Ms. Sue Martinez holds Lily a bit tighter before answering their question.
More bullying, unfortunately.
Poor Lily was teased in the cafeteria today.
We need to do something about this now.
We can't let our students suffer like this anymore.
Ms. Sue Martinez holds Lily close as she continues to sob.
Ms. Maria and Ms. Janet move closer, their faces filled with concern.
Without a word, the four of us form a protective circle around Lily.
I kneel beside her as she continues to sob, her small frame shaking against the cold bathroom wall.
Ms. Maria places a steady hand on Lily's back while Ms. Janet completes our embrace by wrapping her arms around all of us.
We stay like this for a while, the only sound being Lily's quieting sobs.
Her tears dampen my blouse as we hold each other, but I don't care.
Our shared warmth eventually calms Lily's shaking, and her sobs become less intense.
Through the bathroom's fluorescent lights, I catch glimpses of determination in Ms. Maria and Ms. Janet's eyes.
Keeping one arm around Lily, I gesture with the other for Ms. Maria and Ms. Janet to come closer.
Ms. Maria moves first, kneeling beside us on the cold bathroom floor.
She wraps her arms around Lily from the other side, gently rubbing circles on Lily's back with her hand.
Ms. Janet follows moments later, completing our circle as she wraps her arms around all of us.
The four of us stay huddled together, our presence speaking more than words could.
When Lily's breathing steadies, she lifts her tear-stained face and manages a weak smile.
Ms. Maria and Ms. Janet tighten their hold on us, our arms interlinking as we sit in silence.
The fluorescent lights hum above us, casting an artificial glow on our bathroom floor.
Lily's shoulders still shake occasionally, but her sobs have subsided.
Her breathing is steady against my shoulder as Ms. Maria gently wipes tears from Lily's cheeks with her sleeve.
Ms. Janet runs her fingers through Lily's tangled hair, soothingly untangling knots.
When the warning bell rings in the hallway, none of us move to leave.
Instead, I squeeze Lily's hand three times - our silent signal that she's loved.
I keep my arm firmly around Lily's shoulders as she leans against me, her breathing still uneven.
Ms. Maria shifts closer on Lily's other side, while Ms. Janet maintains her protective stance behind us.
The cold bathroom tile presses against my legs, but I don't move.
When another student pushes open the bathroom door, peering in curiously, Ms. Janet quietly asks her to use the facilities down the hall instead.
The door squeaks shut.
I feel Lily's shoulders relax slightly at this small act of protection.
I shift my position, sitting more upright on the bathroom floor to fully face Lily.
I open my arms wide, inviting her into a deeper embrace.
She collapses against me, her small frame shaking with fresh sobs.
I wrap my arms tightly around her, one hand cradling the back of her head while the other rubs circles on her back.
Her tears soak through my blouse as she clutches at my shoulders.
Ms. Maria and Ms. Janet remain close, their hands resting supportively on Lily's shoulders.
The fluorescent lights above us flicker occasionally, casting an artificial glow on our bathroom floor.
I rock Lily gently, letting her release all her pain and fear into my protective embrace.
As her crying begins to subside, she reaches out with both arms, pulling Ms. Maria and Ms. Janet into our huddle on the bathroom floor.
Lily wraps one arm tightly around Ms. Maria's waist and the other around Ms. Janet's shoulders, holding us all close.
The four of us sit in a tight circle, our bodies pressed together as we offer Lily all the support and protection she needs.
Her body shakes occasionally with residual sobs, but she clings to us desperately.
The fluorescent lights above us cast harsh shadows on our bathroom floor, but we maintain our protective formation around Lily.
Ms. Maria and Ms. Janet shift slightly, adjusting their positions to better accommodate Lily's grip on them.
I keep my arms firmly around her, holding her close as she continues to cry.
The bathroom floor is cold and hard, but we don't move.
We stay in our protective circle, shielding Lily from the world outside.
As her crying slowly subsides, I gently stroke her hair, whispering words of comfort into her ear.
Ms. Maria and Ms. Janet remain close, their bodies still pressed against Lily's protectively.
The fluorescent lights above us flicker occasionally, casting an artificial glow on our bathroom floor.
But we don't need artificial light to see the truth.
We know that Lily is safe now, protected by our love and support.
"Lily," Ms. Maria murmurs softly, "do you want to tell us what happened?"
Lily's voice is barely a whisper as she replies, "It was him... he found me again."
Ms. Janet's eyes widen with concern, her voice firm yet gentle, "We won't let him hurt you anymore, Lily."
I nod in agreement, my arms tightening around her.
Ms. Maria's voice is filled with compassion as she speaks, "We'll do everything in our power to keep you safe, Lily. You're not alone anymore."
Ms. Janet reaches out, gently stroking Lily's hair.
"We'll be here for you, every step of the way," she assures her softly.
Lily's body shakes with fresh sobs as she clings to us desperately.
We don't try to stop her tears.
Instead, we let her cry, offering her all the support and protection she needs.
As long as we're here, we won't let anyone hurt her again.
The bathroom floor may be cold and hard, but it's a small price to pay for the love and protection we're offering Lily.
Lily's voice trembles as she finally speaks, "I was so scared... I didn't know where else to go."
Ms. Maria squeezes her gently, whispering, "You did the right thing coming here, sweetheart."
Ms. Janet nods, her tone resolute, "We'll make sure he can't find you again, I promise."
