Today is National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence. As a class we talked about the impacts of bullying and in particular cyber bullying. It is really important that we continue to be aware of it and find ways to speak out for ourselves or others. We can very easily be caught up in our own lives and own feelings but need to remember that what we say and do for others is important. Before saying something negative to someone think about the kind of day someone might have had or what is going on in their lives. For all we know they are having a really hard time and although frustration causes us to say and do things out of character, we need to think about how we may impact someone else’s life in the process.
Please talk to your child about this if you get the chance. Model how we can help others and speak out when we see people in need of help. Due to the growing number of students on social media, we need to ensure they are aware of how to protect themselves and speak out if they have any issues.
