Stand Up For Yourself
Creed B Good, a 9-year-old with a heart of gold, faces a big problem when he witnesses a classmate being bullied. Through obstacles and setbacks, Creed learns the power of justice and friendship in the ghetto of Ohio.
Creed B Good loved his neighborhood in Ohio, but he noticed something troubling. At school, he saw a group of kids bullying his classmate, Jimmy, who was in a wheelchair. Creed's heart ached as he watched them tease and push Jimmy. He knew standing by was not an option. " - We need to do something, Creed!" his best friend, Max, said.
Creed gathered his courage and decided to confront the bullies. " - Leave him alone," Creed said, his voice trembling. But the bullies just laughed and pushed him aside. Creed felt his confidence waver. " - You're just a kid," one bully sneered.
Frustrated, Creed tried to tell a teacher, but they were too busy to listen. " - They'll just say 'kids will be kids'," Max warned him. Creed's determination grew, but so did his challenges. The bullies began to target him, too. " - Why won't anyone help?" Creed wondered aloud.
Creed's attempts to rally his classmates for help fell flat. " - It's no use, they won't listen," said Sarah, his classmate. He felt like he was failing Jimmy and himself. The weight of the problem seemed to grow heavier. Creed found himself avoiding the playground.
With each failure, Creed's heart sank deeper into despair. " - Maybe I should just give up," he thought one evening. His reflection in the mirror showed a defeated boy. He didn't know how to fight anymore. " - I'm sorry, Jimmy," he whispered to himself.
Creed's grandmother noticed his sadness and sat down with him. " - Remember, justice always finds a way," she said gently. Her words sparked something inside Creed. " - I won't give up," Creed resolved. He had a plan forming in his mind.
The next day, Creed approached his classmates again. " - Let's stand together against bullies," he urged them. Slowly, one by one, they agreed to help. Together, they formed a protective circle around Jimmy during recess. " - We're with you, Jimmy," Creed said.
The bullies were surprised and backed off when they saw the united front. " - This isn't over," one of them warned. But Creed felt stronger with his friends by his side. He knew they had done the right thing. " - We did it, Jimmy," he smiled.
Jimmy thanked Creed and his friends. " - I never felt so strong," Jimmy said with a wide grin. Creed realized that standing up for justice was worth every struggle. " - We're in this together," Creed replied. He felt proud and happy.
The school recognized Creed and his friends for their bravery. They learned that justice is not just about fighting but also about supporting each other. " - We can change things," Max said pr
