Leo’s response to the bullying each time was different. When the bullying first started he seemed to take it well and not be bothered by it as much, but the second time the bullying started he seemed to be more affected by it. When he asked, “ Why are people so mean” it shows that what the bullies were saying got to him.
If it was Leo who posted something mean online instead of something kind like he did to others the outcome would have changed because he would be in his bullies shoes and someone else would be hurt
