            A personal anecdote that is related to me in terms of the categorical imperative is when in 5th grade I stood up for a girl who was being bullied because she was new to the school. The bullies were my classmates who picked on the girl from the way she dressed to the way she talked when she had to present something to the class as an class assignment. Watching this everyday and knowing it was wrong made me guiltier by the day. I had to take a stand against it. The way I handled is by talking to her, being with her constantly and telling my friends to be friends with her too, this way she wouldn't be bothered. This stopped the situation without violence or hatred soon the bullies forgot about her and moved on and from that I earned a new best friend. This is related to the categorical imperative because if I was in her situation I would want someone to stand up for me and accept me that way I won't be furthered bullied.
