In Making Sarah Cry for example. The narrator bullies a girl named Sarah who cries every day at recess. But then the narrator gets hit by a car and then he goes to school and he gets bullied because of his scar. Then Sarah steps in a support her bully by telling the other bullies to stop.

Closer to the end of the story Ava [ or the narrator] tells her friend and then they both tell the principal and then the coach and kid get in trouble.
