i cant help but write something on the recent headlines that have made international news regarding bullying.
..why do people think they have the right to treat people in such a disrespectful manner?
...why do people think it is ok to bully someone because they are unique in some way?
....why do people assume they are better than someone?
.....why do some people think their time is more valuable than someone elses?
one of the most amazing things about the human race is our individuality. our ability to make our own decisions. having the freedom to develop into a unique person who contributes positively to the planet.
its a shame that it takes suicides and death for people to start taking some action, but at least its a start...and hopefully its just the beginning of a long list of changes ahead.
there is not much one individual person can do about bullying, but if everyone unites and joins forces, changes can definitely be made. as dr. phil always says, standing by and watching someone be bullied is just as bad as the person doing the bullying and i most definitely agree.
what breaks my heart is when innocent children are bugged and tormented for things they have no control over. if a baby is born into a family without the funds to buy the best clothes, shoes, hair products...why do others feel they can harrass that child? these kids were never given the option of who their family was, or how much money they make. its such a tragedy to know that these children go home feeling inadequate...
what i can do, and most definitely will, is raise my children to give everyone a fair chance. i will teach them that a persons shape, size, gender, sexual preference, etc do not determine who they are...they are merely characteristics of the cover of their book. i will also teach them to be strong and to stand up for themselves should they ever be bullied. each and every one of us is a valuable person on this planet and we all deserve to be treated as such.
