Hey there. I’m Jimmy. If you’ve heard about me, maybe it wasn’t good at first. Yeah — I used to laugh at Joey when he couldn’t jump right. It made me feel… bigger, stronger, like I had something over him. Truth is, I was hiding my own doubts. Teasing gave me control, but it wasn’t fair, and it wasn’t kind.
The day I realized how much my words hurt him — that was a turning point. I saw that teasing didn’t make me stronger; it made me smaller. Since then, I’ve tried to be a friend, not a bully. I’ve learned that helping someone feels better than laughing at them.
Now, when I see Joey practicing, I cheer him on. When others struggle, I try to step in with encouragement instead of jeers. I’m not perfect — nobody is. But I’ve learned that respect builds trust, and friendship beats pride every time. If you walk with me, you’ll see: I may still joke, but it’s laughter shared, not laughter used as a weapon.
