How Do We Stop it?

Everyday when I wake up. The first thing I do is read the news on the internet and everyday the first thing I see on the news is that another child was killed due to bullying. This is not acceptable. Their has to be a way to stop this.


We send our children to school everyday thinking that they are going to be safe and get a better education. This is not the case anymore. What are we teaching our children if they only thing they can remember is that someone came to school and shot everyone?


Although all schools can bring more awareness and a no tolerance to bullying. You cannot blame the school. Teaching the difference between right and wrong must start at home. You can put all the metal detectors you want in schools. They will find away around them.


As Parents. We must teach our children better. Bullying must stop. When approached by another parent to resolve a bullying issue. Boys will be boys and Girls will be girls is not a solution. You are just enabling the problem to go further. It is time to step up and be the parent.


This is my plea to all the parents in the world. The only one who can start by making a difference is you. Talk to your children. Teach them not to hate. Violence brings more violence.


So, I ask all parents. How do we stop it?
