I have always been able to use my words for good or bad, and luckily I was a nice kid who only bullied the bullies when they were mean to other kids. <br /><br />I'll never forget one class where a bunch of kids picked on a girl names Michelle. She was always picked on. For the first time in my life when a bunch of boys made fun of her I stepped in front of her and said, "Hey guys I think that's quite enough of that!" I could have been bullied instead, but they all did this crazy thing and stopped. I'm probably most proud of this moment in my junior high career. <br /><br />Isn't the peer pressure amazing? Not just with children but with teens and adults? It seems like it only takes one person to say something to stop it in so many situations. I hope to be that person more often in my adult life! Thanks for the inspiring post!

He said yes, Josh and that Josh always was chosen last for kickball. I said to my son next time you are the captain why don't you pick Josh. He said "but we'll lose!" I told him he didn't have to pick Josh first, but he could pick him in the middle. I asked him how he would feel if he went to school everyday knowing he was going to be picked on and knowing no one wanted him to play and always being chosen last. The next day he came home from school, walked in and said "Mom, I picked Josh." A proud moment for me. :) When he was in 5th grade he told me about a boy in his class who was always getting picked on. I told him it only takes one person to take a stand. I said he didn't have to be the boy's best friend but he could make a difference my smiling and saying hello to all the people who are ignored and/or get picked on. I told him he had the ability to tell people to stop and sometimes all it takes is one person to stop it. Then I prayed and crossed my fingers that it would work. He came home from school a couple days later and said that people started picking on this kid and he said he was really nervous but he looked at them all and said "knock it off and leave him alone." Then he said "Mom, it worked! They all stopped." I didn't tell him that it might not always work but all through his high school years I often talked to him about speaking and smiling at those who were picked on or ignored and explained to him that it may be the one thing that got them through their day, knowing someone was kind to them.

When he was 7 I asked him if there was anyone in his class that got picked on. He said yes, "Josh". He said Josh always got picked last in any recess game. I told him next time he was the captain of kick ball to pick Josh. I said you don't have to pick him first but pick him in the middle. My son said "but if I pick him my team will lose!" And I asked him how he would feel if he went to school everyday and no one spoke to him or chose him to be on a team and how hard that would be. The next day he came home from school and came up to me and said "Mom, I picked Josh." A proud moment for me I must say. :) As he got older I explained that it only takes one person to stand up and not allow others to get picked on. I said he didn't have to be the person's best friend but even smiling, saying hello and acknowledging the person's existence could change a person's day because these kids hate going to school every day knowing what is coming and I again I asked him how he would feel if it were him. He came home when he was in 5th grade and told me some kids in his class were picking on another kid. I told my son it was time to stand up and do something about it. Then I crossed my fingers and prayed hard that it would work so he would be willing to do it again and again. He came home that day and told me that the kids started in on this kid in class again that day and he said he was really nervous but he turned around, looked at all the kids doing the bullying and said "knock it off and leave him alone." Then he looked at me and smiled and said "it worked Mom!" I reminded him repeatedly throughout high school to be kind and smile and watch out for those that needed help. Sorry for the long post, but it's the responsibility of parents to help their children understand so that the bullying can stop.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954195677897412319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050262466308751436.post-9519189404397069302013-02-27T08:42:52.198-08:002013-02-27T08:42:52.198-08:00Loved this so so much.

A good majority of the class was spent on the topic of workplace bullying out there. There is some very, very fascinating research out there on the topic. One that comes to mind is was done by Tracy, Lutgen-Sandvik, and Albert (2006) where they analyze themes within workplace bullying stories. They find that most people describe there experience to as either a nightmare, being controlled by a demon, or enslaved. <br /><br />Want to listen to a terrifyingly interesting This American Life on bullying?
