Sasha Finds Her Voice

Courage Pixar style

A timid girl named Sasha learns to stand up to her bullies and discovers the courage within her.

Sasha sat quietly in the schoolyard, clutching her book tightly. She loved reading, but today she couldn't focus. A group of kids had been teasing her all week about her glasses. Sasha felt invisible and didn't know how to make them stop. She wished she could speak up but felt too scared.

During lunch, the teasing continued. A boy named Max took Sasha's glasses and started playing keep-away. Sasha's heart raced as she tried to get them back. - Please give them back, Sasha pleaded softly. But Max just laughed and tossed them to another kid. Sasha felt helpless and embarrassed.

In class, Sasha struggled to see the board without her glasses. Her teacher noticed her squinting and asked what was wrong. - It's nothing, Sasha mumbled, not wanting to draw attention. But inside, she felt like she was missing out on everything. She couldn't keep up with the lesson, and her frustration grew.

After school, Sasha sat on her bed, tears in her eyes. She wanted to tell her mom about the bullies, but what if things got worse? - I can't do this anymore, Sasha whispered to herself. She felt trapped, with nowhere to turn. The thought of facing another day filled her with dread.

The next day, Sasha's best friend Maya noticed something was wrong. - You seem upset, what's going on? Maya asked. Sasha hesitated but finally shared her troubles. Maya listened and then said, - You have to stand up for yourself, Sasha. Her words sparked a tiny flame of hope in Sasha's heart.

Sasha was still scared but decided to give it one more try. She practiced what she'd say in front of the mirror, her voice trembling at first. - I can do this, she told herself, feeling a bit stronger each time. The next morning, she walked to school with determination in her step.

During recess, Max approached Sasha again, but this time she was ready. - Stop taking my glasses, Sasha said firmly, her voice clear. Max looked surprised but backed off. Sasha couldn't believe she had done it; she felt a rush of relief and pride.

After school, Sasha and Maya celebrated with ice cream. - I'm proud of you, Maya said with a smile. Sasha felt lighter, like a weight had been lifted. She realized that standing up for herself wasn't as scary as she thought. Sasha had found her voice, and it felt like freedom.
