This is a great resource by PBS Kids. It is an interactive comic book of "So Funny I Forgot to Laugh" about Arthur and his friends. Arthur teases a friend about a new sweater, but goes to far. She asks him to stop and he doesn't, so she tells the teacher. The teacher tells him to write an apology and he writes a terrible apology that makes his friends even more upset with him. The story has multiple endings so students can try out different decisions. Goes well with the definition of bullying and what to do if you are being bullied...or if someone accuses you of bullying. Could also be used with understanding that people might exhibit bullying behavior but that doesn't define who they are "A Bully" for life.
