3 Make, let, and have a) Find all the examples of make, let and have in the text. Bully. What does the word make you think of? For some people, it’s that girl at school who always makes fun of them. For others, it’s the biggest guy in the neighborhood who beats them up or takes their things, or makes someone do things he or she doesn’t want to do. No matter what situation or form it comes in, bullying can make you feel depressed, hurt, and alone. Bullying happens everywhere, all the time, and it’s happened since forever. Because it’s so common, many adults think bullying is just a normal part of growing up. You’ve probably heard parents or teachers say things like: «Don’t let it get to you» or «You just have to be tougher.» However, when these are done to someone more than once, and usually over and over again for a long period of time, that’s bullying. Parents should have their kids talk about their problems. Parents also should let bullies’ parents know about the problem. Many antibullying organizations run campaigns to let victims know that they are not alone. They get kids, who fought the problem, to come to the studio and talk how to become strong.
