COURAGE is confidently doing something, even if it is hard or frightens you. It's when you are willing to face your fears. Courage helps you to be a good decision-maker and a responsibility-taker. When you are courageous, you follow your heart and you stand up for what you know is right. You also show courage when you try new things.

An Example of COURAGE is:  

If you see someone bullying someone else, and you know it is wrong to bully people - it takes COURAGE to speak up about it.

Whether you tell the bully to stop, stand up for the person being bullied, or tell an adult about what you saw so they can help - ALL of that takes courage. 

Sometimes it's hard to do because we are afraid of the bullies, or that other people won't think we're cool, but SPEAKING UP IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO, and it takes courage to do it! :)
