Everybody needs a voice.....

We live in a world where children are being bullied more often than I think we would like to admit. We live in a world where bullies get power and feel good about making other people feel poorly. We live in a world where kids witness bullying fear what would happen if they say something. We live in a world where kids who are being bullied don’t say anything for fear that it will only get worse. This might be the world that we live in today, but it doesn’t have to be the world of tomorrow. We can all work together to make sure the bullies get their emotional needs met in ways that don’t harm others. We can work to make sure that those witnessing bullying feel empowered to stand up for themselves and others. We can work to make a world where those kids being bullied find their voice to stand up and say STOP! Where those kids feel safe and supported to tell the adults around them.
A friend’s daughter recently told her mom that she had been being bullied all year at school…..she finally found her voice. She made this video to help other kids find their voice. Please watch it and share it so that Hannah can help others find their voice.


Let’s work together to make this world a better place.

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”
