It has to stop.
We can break the cycle.
With information, with care, with concern.
I just heard on my local news about an 11-year-old girl who tried to kill her self last night. Last week she found handwritten notes (someone took pen to paper with utter cruelty) telling her she should just kill her self.
I am totally distraught. But I am NOT helpless and I AM empowered and VERY motivated.
11
She’s 11 and life has been reduced to some direction from mean children. I am taking action and will talk to whoever will give me audience all the way to Miss Melania at the White House.
I will start with the children, but parents you have to get off your “my kid would never” merry go round. You are delusional and absent.
It has to be dinner table conversation.
If you don’t eat at the dinner table it has to be morning before school conversation.
If you don’t see your children before school it has to be after school discussion.
If you don’t see your kids until bedtime it needs to be talked about before they go to sleep.
And if you also don’t see your children before they turn in for the night I feel very sorry for you...
and...
You are culpable.
I hate to be the one to break it to you, but you are partially to blame. More than half. The lions share as a matter of fact.
Kids, children, babies are taking their lives and if you don’t take time to talk with your own about bullying, you have been blessed with someone you flat don’t deserve.
I will take action. You will hear my voice or read my words at some point. I may just bring you dinner one night or breakfast one morning and we will talk.
I have something to do. Something to say.
