Connor: Blue Lightning

Bullying is never okay, but it is more so when verbal bullying becomes physical harm to a victim. Connor was bullied because he wore glasses, and these had blue-tinted lenses to help with the difficulties he experienced with Irlen Syndrome. When a new boy, Jai, was enrolled at the school and became Connor’s friend, he became the target of racial bullying.

The boys knew they should identify the bullies, but they were afraid that doing so would only make the bullying worse. They needed to find a way to do it subtly, and a school project offered them the opportunity they required to have the bullies publicly shamed and make them the superheroes.
