Once we, five of us were playing outside in the park and there was an old man walking in the park and my friends started making fun of that man. Although I was taught to respect the elders, I couldn’t deny my friends demand to join them and soon I also joined them. But I regretted not only for the decision to join them but also not preventing them. I was easily influenced by my friends in engaging in a negative behaviour.

Once my friends were planning to go for a movie and they started making fun of a person from an Asian country for the person’s looks. It was almost bullying but I decided not to join them because I had few Asian friends who were good and pleasant people. The descriptions my friends used were unacceptable and although I tried to stop them at one point, I couldn’t but I was happy that I was not part of that behaviour.
