In honor and recognition of this most important of “national days”, “World Day of Bullying Prevention®”, let us come together as a worldwide community that stands FIRMLY against bullying.

Both myself and my daughter were the victims of “childhood bullying”, by the way, and dare I say that there are people in our very own family, up to including my children, who are still very much are being “bullied” by certain powers that be. I know from whence I speak! So, with that …

Dear BULLY,

It’s 8am … this hell they’re in … seems they’ve crossed a line again for being nothing more than who they are. So, break their bones and throw your stones … we all know that life ain’t fair, but there is more of us …

WE’RE EVERYWHERE!

Think it through ! You can’t undo! Whenever I see black and blue, I feel the past, I share the bruise. With everyone who’s come and gone, my head is clear my voice is strong! Now, I’m right here to right the wrong! No one has to take this backed against a wall! No one has to take this! We can end it all!

ALL YOU’LL EVER BE IS THE FADED MEMORY OF A BULLY!

Make another joke while they hang another rope … so lonely! Push them to the dirt ’til the words don’t hurt.

CAN YOU HEAR ME?

NO ONE’S GONNA CRY ON THE VERY DAY YOU DIE … YOU’RE A BULLY!
