by Mark Hyde
Key Messages:
- Bullying and how to get help
- The importance of friendship
- The dangers of carrying a knife
9-year-old Sam is being bullied by some older boys who he has met in the park after school. They have been demanding money from him which he has been taking from home in order to pay them. Polly, his best friend, tries to give advice but Sam is so frightened by the bullies that he brings a knife to school for protection.
The message of the play is that carrying a knife will never protect you and is highly dangerous. It encourages students that confiding in parents or teachers if being bullied is the best way to tackle the situation.
