During a TV interview, The Arc Alliance’s County Director of Advocacy, Janine Farrall, asked me, “What do bullies look like?” Watch the video to see how I responded.
During the interview, I touched on what older students can do to prevent cyber bullying. What else can they do?
The second book in the Heart Eyes series is well under way. I’ve completed the manuscript and Ryan has begun the sketches. Below you’ll find several of his sketches. Try and guess which character is bullied in the second book. See if you can predict how Beth helps him.
Do you see people with heart eyes? You see their hurt. You see what others have to offer (what they’re good at). Children who are bullied and who witness bullying need your help.
Bullying happens usually when adults aren’t around. Like at recess, at lunch, in the hallways, on the bus…Sometimes bullies use a computer to do cyber bullying. Sometimes a bully will ignore or torment a friend.
Many kids want to help, but don’t know what to do. Sometimes children are afraid to tell. They’re worried the bullies will hurt them.
Have you seen someone bullied? Were you able to stop the bullying without getting mean?
If you found a creative way to prevent or stop bullying, let us know what you did.
Tell us where it happened and what you did.
