International Stand Up to #Bullying Day: Join the movement

My family experienced bullying. It was a terrible situation that we had to deal with. My son was bullied for over 2 years. He was experiencing moral abuse from several students. We stood up to this situation. We fought for him. We met with the school staff, we discussed with other parents. We did everything we can to help him.

It is better now, but some damage is done. He is still excluded from parties, games. He is still ignored but some of his classmates. He does not seem to care about it anymore. Luckily one friend helped him through his journey. He fought for him when he was hurt and abused. This friend is the best thing that happened to him.

Unfortunately, my son is not the only child bullied. Everyday, I read in the paper, I watch it in the news: Every day, a child is abused. A child is experiencing bullying. Some children overcome these situations. Others commit suicide.

What is bullying

It is a harmful action with the intention to hurt another person. It can be moral abuse (exclusion) or physical abuse. These actions are continuous. They are harmful. They hurt the feelings!
