Bully

Today I saw in the news that another child took his own life after being bullied. This is so sad and tragic. My heart breaks for him, his family and the entire community involved. We all have to look in our hearts and see what role we each play in these problems. Do we look the other way? Do we confront bullies? My son was bullied in middle school. I was bullied as a child. It is hard to deal with and children need the adults around them to be models. I have watched parents scream at Tball games. That is bullying! Where do you think children learn to be bullies? Parents, coaches, teachers, faith leaders, everyone who works and spends time with children, it is up to all of us! We have to change this today! Every child deserves to be able to go to school without fear!
