How I wish that I could wave a magic wand and say those words! Bullying affect so many children and also many adults all around the world every day. Luckily there are people out there who are working to fight this - and there are a lot of great books out there about bullying.

ReplyDeleteAsamum, it is a really great initiative
I deal with bullying a lot as a teacher and I so wish there was a magic wand to make it go away. It causes so much stress and hurt.
ReplyDeleteI know. I hate bullying, it is so evil.
