Anti-bullying awareness
October is anti-bullying month. The fact we even need to set aside time to raise awareness for this saddens me and this is a topic I could ramble on about for hours, but sometimes simplicity is best. In light of this, all I am going to say is that while bullying may seem to some people like a meaningless or even fun moment of frivolity, the mental scars you give others will never leave them. Never.
Happiness is a wonderful gift; please don’t ever be the one responsible for taking it away from someone else.

Great quote and I love the post on such an important topic!
Thank you! It’s a real shame we still need movements against something like this but if we all do our little bit to help, who knows what we could achieve 🙂
Excellent post, Callum. As someone who was bullied in high school, I can say from personal experience that the impact of cruel comments and abusive behaviour has a major impact. My daughter is working on a wonderful project to raise awareness. Thanks for doing your bit 🙂
It’s definitely a worthwhile cause. Thanks for showing your support 🙂
A great quote there, and pretty much yes to this post!

Though the bullying I suffered was minor compared to what others have gone through, the scars are no less there and influencing the way I live twenty years later.
Absolutely. It’s important people understand the consequences of their actions. Thank you for taking the time to read and comment!

I completely agree with you….bullying is a terrible thing.
It really is. Thanks for reading and commenting, it’s much appreciated.
So true! Great post
Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
After my children experiencing bullying at school and having always taught the lesson of how important it is to stand up for yourself, I experienced it in the workplace.I learned first hand it’s not at all easy to just ignore ( they look for you); it doesn’t matter what quality you produce they will put it down and while I know that they have low self esteem and things out of control in their lives – it still created a feeling of fear and illness as I faced it daily in the workplace. What I don’t get is why some think making the lives of others miserable will cause their happiness to increase. A smile and kind word is what does the job.
I hope one day parents won’t have to teach their children to rise above bullying. We’re not there yet but with enough people making a stand, who knows what we could achieve.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.
I wish I had read this post a long time ago, when I needed some inner forces. This plate got her pieces together, but only by herself, not because those bullies helped her build her life up again.
That’s great to read. A bit of self-enpowerment can go a long way. Good on you!
