September 9th, 2005
September 12-16 is National No Bully Week. My nephew,
Jacob, started 2nd grade this year. I was actually surprised when
his Mom called to tell me he was being bullied on the bus. I figured this
kind of stuff wouldn’t happen for another couple years but just like
everything else for kids, this too has begun earlier. Generally bullies are
often bigger and older than other kids but
bullies at school can also
come in all sizes and ages. My nephew’s bully was a boy his same age but
smaller then him. Luckily he rides the bus home with several neighborhood
kids and our daughter who are his friends. From what I was told, they simply
let the kid know that being mean was not cool! I seem to think that the
masses had a profound impact simply because there was more than one standing
up for him!
School Bullies
are just not cool!
Girls are also victims of bullying,
it’s just usually done in a form that some may not recognize as bullying.
Teasing and Gossiping
is the number one way in which girls are bullied. As many of us know, this
can be devastating for a girl and can seriously mar her self-esteem and her
reputation. We are constantly building up our 7 -year-old
daughter’s self-esteem and reminding her how painful and devastating teasing
and gossiping can be to another child. If she is ever in a position of being
bullied or of seeing someone else get bullied hopefully she will know exactly
what to do.
All we can really do is teach them
and hope in the end they were listening!
