I have come to speak to you about an important matter, bullying.
A lot of people have it installed in their brains that their biggest bullies will go away when highschool ends. However, that is false.
What everyone especially you seem to forget is that my biggest bully will stay with me forever, because it's me.
I AM MY BIGGEST BULLY. No one will ever hate me as much as I've hated myself. You continually tell children that they're bullies will go away soon and the problems that come with it too. But you are wrong, children's problems are themselves. We are putting our insecurities onto other people when really we are the ones who have created them. We listen.
This is a message, a reminder that if you'd like to do bully seminars tell children the truth. Tell them they need to accept themselves. I am not saying that real life bullies don't have part in the way that children feel. I understand. I'm going to share an example.
Billy's friends only like him for his smarts.
Billy felt no one loved him for anything but his smarts.
Billys feelings for this started before his friends even hinted had this.
My point board, is that stop letting children pin their insecurities on people and what they've done to them and instead start at the root of the problem, convince the children to love themselves for who they truly are.
Sincerly,
A concerned citizen
