Support an End to Bullying Diamond Candle Giveaway ends @9pm PST!

in Z Archived Closed on 04/28/13

Powered by Mom Blog supports putting an END TO BULLYING how about you?!

Sign the petition enter the giveaway and good luck! Open Worldwide*

There are some causes that are super important to me and bullying just happens to be one of them. Growing up, I’ve seen bullying first hand and as my children grow, I’ve witnessed it in their lives as well. You can read more about the impact of bullying here. We as adults need to take a stand against bullying and ensure that it does not effect another life! We can do this through our words and our actions. I personally had to sit my son down last week and talk to him about it after an incident at his school where he was the perceived bully. And even though that was not his intention, his actions caused another child to feel bullied. This is not a problem that only happens to other people. It is a real issue that most children (and adults) will deal with at one point in their lives. And I want to see that stop!

    I was bullied a lot in school especially high school. I was miserable, hated going, and attended an online school senior year. If it wasn’t my weight it was my red hair. I was called a blimp, told to call 1-800 JENNY the moment I got on the school bus. Sad part is I ran into one of the kids at the age of 21 and he was still just as bad. He bought a guy at the bar a beer if he slapped my butt and pointed out the fact I was big. He drew attention and ppl laughed. Here I was a military spouse with a deployed hubby and so much going for me and I let him get to me and break me apart. I am 26, a mom of 2 and still a military wife and although I have 3 men that adore me, it still effects me everyday. Maybe I don’t recognize what exactly happened or how i was treated, but I don’t take compliments well, think the worst of myself, and sometimes feel like I have no self worth based on what others have thought of me. Breaks my heart that my kids may one day have to deal with that. Breaks my heart even more that ppl like that man that never changed are going to reproduce and make more kids as bitter and cruel as he is 🙁

    Just like what Rebecca wrote above, I was bullied my whole life through school. I was always “different” so to speak. As an adult, I’ve realized being different is a GOOD thing. That’s the way God made us. If we all had the same nose, eyes, hair, body – how would this world be? I will do everything in my power and control to not let the same happen to my two beautiful children. Every child is beautiful and does not deserve to be bullied! Thank you for this giveaway and raising awareness. Every bit counts and through things like this we can all make a difference.

    At one point in Jr. High School I was being bullied so bad (like life threatening) that I had to change schools. I hated it I missed my friends and my “normal” so I begged my Mom to let me return to “my” school and I just carried along with my life like there was nothing wrong ,although I was always watching my back, but the more I acted like it didn’t bother me the less and less I was bullied until finally it stopped. I had a great group of friends to stick by my side and I’m glad I took my life back into my own hands.

    It’s not just children who bully, adults can also bully. As a child, I witnessed it (and experienced it first-hand). It’s sad that another’s insecurities or need for power is taken out on the innocent.

    I was constantly picked on throughout school for my thick glasses and for being super tiny. I hated going to school! But I just assumed that it was part of growing up. Fast forward to today — bullying doesn’t have to be part of growing up. I’d hate to see my kids feel as bad about themselves as I did. I’ve tried my best to instill self-worth in each of them, but since I can’t follow them around all day long, I can’t be sure they believe what I say instead of what someone else might say.
