I Care About Bullying Prevention Because...
|
"My son suffers from anxiety and he IS the bully. It is part of his defense. If he bullies others, he gives them the reason not to like him and in his mind, he maintains control of the rejections. I care because I want to help him stop. He really wants to stop too because he really just wants friends, he is just so scared of rejection." |
|
"my son has been bullied for the last two years. I feel like I have him as a parent. It needs to stop. " |
|
"I will not let my children go through the pain of bullying that happened to me. " |
