Read moreWhat is a Stranger? Let's take a little detour from talking about bullies & converse about another potential problem... A stranger!!! So what is a stranger? Are they big? Mean? Ugly? Do they wear funny clothes? To be completely honest, a stranger is anyone you DO NOT know. For children, a stranger remains a stranger until your parents tell you otherwise. As an adult, you can use your own judgment whether or not to get to know someone you don't know. Is a nice grandma that you haven’t met a stranger? Yes. What about a store clerk? Yes. If they are strangers, does that make them bad? No. As a matter of fact, most people that act nice ....

There could be many reasons, but most of the time, it's because they themselves are hurting inside. They probably aren’t as happy or confident as they appear to be on the outside, otherwise they wouldn’t find it necessary to bully others. There could also be ....
Read moreWhat Is Bullying For part of this month we will be focusing on Bullying Awareness. So what exactly is Bullying? If someone disagrees with you, does that mean they are a bully? Not usually. Sometimes people just have disagreements. If you meet someone for the first time and they say “you’re ugly,” does that mean they are a bully? The answer is no. It is bad manners though. For it to be bullying behavior, it has to be repetitive. If someone does something that bothers you, but they might not even be aware of it, is it bullying? Again, the answer is no.

One Saturday just before Christmas, I found myself in Walgreen’s where I was a part of an extremely long line at the checkout counter.
