School life isn't always happy and colorful. There are also "dark" corners there. Bullying (霸凌) is one of them.

Xi Zi, 20, from Guangdong, had been bullied in school for around 10 years. Some made fun of her clothes and her weight. Her roommates called her a thief(小偷). Her classmates spread rumors (谣言) about her and then no one wanted to play with her.

These experiences made her quiet and self-doubting. But actually it was not her fault. In 2018, Xi Zi was diagnosed (诊断) with Asperger's syndrome(阿斯伯格综合征). This condition gives people difficulties in social communication. Children with this condition are more likely to be left out.

Luckily, Xi Zi finally found a way to help herself and others in her situation. She made her experiences into a role-playing board game, The Choice of Transfer Students. Players can choose to be one of three characters—the bully, the bullied one or the onlooker(旁观者). They will experience many bullying situations and their different actions or words will lead to different results. In this way, players see what bullying can do to people. Hopefully they can choose to do the right thing when facing similar situations.

Xi Zi hoped that speaking out about her experiences would help bullied children to be seen and heard. "I hope they know that in the face of bullying, we have the ability to fight back," said Xi Zi.

According to UNICEF(联合国儿童基金会), over a third of students aged 13 to 15 all over the world have experienced bullying. Among them, those who are left out are more likely to be bullied. This includes students with disabilities. To solve this problem, we need all-round education. On the one hand, special children need more attention(注意). On the other hand, parents, teachers and schools should all shoulder(承担) the responsibility of stopping bullying in schools.
