However, this person tricked her into sharing some personal information and then released it online for anyone to read! Hessa’s personal information went viral and there was nothing she could do to remove it. Other kids at her school saw it online and started to bully and tease her. She became really upset, and unfortunately had to change schools to get away from the fallout.

Mariam was feeling revolted! She was travelling to visit her grandparents and it was going to be a long journey, but when she boarded the airplane, she found that she was seated right next to a man with white burn scars on his hands and chin. She immediately called the flight attendant and said, ‘I am seated next to a deformed man. I cannot bear to sit next to him throughout the whole flight! Please find me another seat.’ The attendant tried to calm her down, saying quietly, ‘Don’t worry, Madam. These are just burn marks and cannot make you sick.’ However, Mariam insisted on being moved and refused to remain next to this man. The economy cabin of the plane was completely full, but the flight attendant promised to do her best to find a solution before takeoff.

Hamad was feeling stressed! He was having a difficult time focusing on his schoolwork while doing distance learning from home. His last assignment was to write a 7-paragraph essay, and he left it to the last minute because he found writing difficult. “Why are you sighing so much?” his father asked looking up from his newspaper. He told his father all his friends were planning to play online games together tonight. He knew he could only join if he finished his work, and it was going to take too long.

Bader was playing a game of tennis outside his house with his friend Salem. They were taking it in turns to serve the ball to each other. With each turn serving, they both tried to outdo each other with more powerful serves. With every serve, Bader smashed the ball harder and harder to ensure that he beat Salem, and Salem had the same competitive mindset. Bader swung his racket and whacked the ball so hard that it hit off the fence and continued going into the neighbor’s house and right through their window! Smash! “Oh no!” cried Bader and Salem in unison. Salem, having not been the one to actually serve the wayward ball, quickly ran away.
