Bullying.
October is national bully prevention month. Did you know that? For those of you with children in school you probably are signing permission slips for your children to attend an assembly called Rachel's Challenge. I'll be honest, even I have said bullied and hurtful words to people before. Where and when does it stop? To what extent is it going to go to in our own children's lives? My son attended his assembly on Tuesday. This was my Facebook status yesterday and the discussion that followed.

Bullying. Let's get on that topic for a moment. Apparently there was a middle school assembly yesterday on Rachel's Challenge. A certain boy I know wiped/scratched his eye and it was seen by another child. Then started the rumors that said boy shed tears during assembly. So what if he did shed a tear instead of just wipe/scratch because of allergies. When is the poking and hurting going to end? Even after seeing such a powerful program as that.
After reading the discussion above, weigh in. What are your thoughts? We see what the schools are doing, but what practices do you do with your children at home to prevent them from being bullies and getting bullied?
