By Riley, James Lowell Healthy Lion | Making healthy connections means being kind and making people feel seen. I made two friends in third grade on the schoolyard. To stay connected to my friends, I am nice to others, say kind words, and stick up for my friends when they are being bullied. I think it’s important to be kind, respectful, and not be a bully. You should always treat others the way you want to be treated.
