Writer's Block: Anti-bullying month
Oct. 3rd, 2011 09:53 pm[Error: unknown template qotd]
I was not bullied at school, except for the girls who talked about me because I was "developed" at a young age. But it makes me sad to read about other peoples' experiences. One thing I have tried to hammer into my kids' heads is that it is NEVER ok to make fun of another kid or to stand by and watch it happen without stepping in.
One of my favorite mom-things I've ever known was my friend Jane, who upon discovering her first grader making fun of another girl who didn't have red sparkly shoes from Target, brought her daughter home and made her throw her own red sparkly shoes in the garbage.
I certainly hope that I've taught my kids that this is unacceptable behavior, to engage in or to see without saying something.
