Making the Difference

At one point this is what we all thought bullying was. That it would never grow from this.  Bullying used to be something parents could handle and help their kids through.

Sadly this isn't the case.  Whether you're the one being bullied or the parent who's child is being bullied, you all feel alone, isolated.

When bullying took to social media, it felt like there was no escape.  You were constantly trapped by the negativity, harassment, and the photos and videos.  There was no way to shut it off.

The disappointing truth is that it took the losing of someone's life before cyberbullying was taken seriously. 

After the untimely death of Amanda Todd, the Canadian Government set out to pass Bill 18. Yesterday, October 10, 2013, Bill 18 passed as a law in Manitoba.

It's sad to think about the world we live in today, were a law against bullying needs to be passed.  To me it should be common sense that intentionally hurting someone is wrong. Yet, there are so many people who thrive off of the tormenting of others.

I would like all my readers to Take A Moment out of their day, everyday, and be kind to someone.  You just might save their life.
