Welcome!!

I decided to write this page to open people's eyes about how far bullying situations could go. All over the world there are different bullying scenarios physical, verbal and emotional. Sometime people are not aware of how much these situations affect people. Lately I ran across many different stories of kids being bullied in school, honestly, I was shocked, heartbroken. As a parent I am very worried about these bullying situations because it is very close to all of us and could affect our own children. Many times when we hear that kids are being mocked, made fun us and so on, we tend to think or say that kids will be kids and tell them that these kids are just jealous and they should ignore them. Now, my question is: is this really the answer? Do we actually know how much pain these children are in? Do we really know how much this affect them psychologically? I really do not believe we do. 

I have worked in several schools and have seen bullying at its worst. Bullying about race, size, sexual orientation, economical situation, and so on. Here's the truth, you see kids being bullied and the truth is that nobody really takes it seriously, not even superiors, teachers, authority figures. There are times when something big happens, like a child taking their own life and then the most they do is have an assembly or talk in class about it. That's basically it.  This situation is sad and actually makes me angry. Bullying is something severe, something that can traumatize a child and have them even take their own life. 

BULLYING IS NOT OK. Nobody deserves to be bullied. Bullies may grown out of the bullying but what happens to those kids who remain scared forever! We as parents need to talk more with our kids, measures should be taken at the schools about the bullying. TALKING TO A BULLY WILL NOT MAKE THEM STOP! Assemblies are fine but do kids really listen during assemblies or are they just making fun, on cellphones and chatting with their friends? There seriously needs to take some action about it. Kids need someone to talk to, many times when kids are being bullied they feel alone, scared, they need somebody who can listen to them, advise them and basically be there for them. Feel free to write your opinions and ask for any information, and if any kids are reading this feel free to write about what you are experiencing or have experienced. 

I will be writing about different stories about consequences bullying has.... Stories which made my cry, get angry and decide that I will do everything I can to try to stop bullying. Lets get together and put a stop to this abuse.
