Bullying in schools is a very real and unfortunate problem. In fact, 30% of elementary school age children in the U.S. say they experience bullying while at school. And while in many cases there’s not much the children can do about it, some opt to defend themselves or their friends against bullies.
This nine-year-old girl couldn’t just stand idly while a classmate bullied her friend. The girl’s mom went on to Reddit to share the story of how the little superhero physically defended her friend against the bully and got some unfair reactions from the school’s administration.
