PolygonPat's Mate Orbious Oblong
Orbious Oblong seems such a gentle caring
person, always the star of the class. One of the most
popular students. Known for being a rebel. But
Orbious Oblong has a deep dark secret.

Deep within Orbious Oblong is rage, anger, hate, a
wanting to be strong all the time, a desire for power
and a longing to be the first picked on a team. In fact
the first at everything.

So how does Orbious Oblong get to be the first in
things and have this so called power over others?

Orbious Oblong's life is centered around bullying
other people. Kids that seem different but are the
same in the sense that they also have dreams and
aspirations but they choose to target their stuff into
positive not negative. Orbious Oblong bullies other
kids face to face but sometimes acts more sneakily
by waiting until others have turned their back and
can not really see what is happening, before the
bullying starts. Orbious Oblong is popular because
of fear not because of kindness.

Within Orbious Oblong is a part that is kind and
gentle a part that is not about bullying. Orbious
Oblong is angry and frustrated. Orbious Oblong
wants to do things that parents and teachers do not
approve of to gain attention and power. So other kids
end up suffering even PolygonPat.

Orbious Oblong's dream is to become a talented
artist. Can you help Orbious Oblong to overcome the
bullying and find a place in the school community
without hurting others especially PolygonPat.  

You can help Orbious Oblong to change direction by
colouring in the self portrait on the next page and
prove to everyone that the bully that those kids see is
no more.
Can you help others not be so scared of Orbious
Oblong?
