John
Lads! we meeting up for a game of footie later?
Shaun
Sounds good to me !
Davie
Oh no you never invited Shaun did you? he can go in goals I guess, can't kick a ball to save himself
Gavin
Brutal Davie mate
Gavin
He's right though Shaun you are hopeless.
Davie
Like Bambi trying to walk on ice out there, I actually fancy winning a game for once.
Shaun
Is it cool to come? don't want to ruin your game
Davie
We'll see if we can get someone without two left feet first and let you know later
Shaun seems to be being singled out by Davie. Although Davie may think it is just banter, Shaun may not see it this way, look at his replies.
Gavin looks to have joined in after Davie started on Shaun, if you see something that you do not think is just friendly banter happening in your friend circle, it is best not joining in, it could be bullying.
Watch out for your friends and if you think they may getting a tough time from anyone, then chat to them and see if they want to open up about it to you.
