TODAY IS NATIONAL STOP BULLYING DAY!

in poetry •  6 years ago 

Today on National Stop Bullying Day, we celebrate the efforts of those trying to make bullying a thing of the past. While there are organizations working towards ending bullying, we can all do our part. If you see bullying occurring, speak up. Everyone needs to let others know they will not tolerate bullying.

All the photos in this post I took today at the high school where I coach a Policy Debate team. The artwork in the photos was created by students at the school. They found their voice and use paintings to take their stand against bullies.

MAKE BULLYING A THING OF THE PAST

Today is about rallying
to put an end to bullying!

No one should be harassed
make bullying a thing of the past!

Some will say
it’s kids at play

I reply that’s a lie
let’s give peace a try!

Bullying is mean
killing self-esteem

bullying needs to be stopped
a new attitude we will adopt!

Kindness rules
in our schools

bullying in the workplace
with cooperation it’s replaced.

No one should be harassed
make bullying a thing of the past!

Use your voice
make a choice

to defend
a friend

if we all take a stand
bullying will be banned.

No one should be harassed
make bullying a thing of the past!

It’s not harmless fun
no matter how it spun.

It impacts people’s lives
not everyone survives.

No one should be harassed
make bullying a thing of the past!

Hey Bully - Morgan Frazier (With Lyrics)

A beautiful song with a powerful message.

Beat bullying; why young people hold the key | Alex Holmes | TEDxExeter

Bullying negatively impacts the students that can carry over into their adult life. We need to empower our youth to come together and tackle bullying as a group. By changing the culture in schools eventually we change culture of the world.
