Hullo my friends.<\/p>\n
How are you all?<\/p>\n
I saw a terrible thing the other day at break time. One of the bigger kids shoved a little girl – took her lunch box and helped herself to all the food. Just like that.<\/p>\n
I was so shocked I just stood and stared. I felt really bad for not doing anything to help, although I did share my lunch with the little kid.<\/p>\n
Shame, she was crying so much her glasses had all misted up and she could not even see.<\/p>\n
I said she must tell her teacher and she must tell her parental agents. But the little kid just shook her head and said that the bully girl lived close to her and would pick on her even more if she got her into trouble.<\/p>\n
Eish! I did not know what to do. So I asked my Mum and she said I should tell my teacher. My teacher listened carefully and asked a few questions. Then she said not to worry \u2013 she would make a plan.<\/p>\n
My teacher is so clever! She lurked behind a window at break time and saw the same thing happening all over again. The big kid stole the little kid\u2019s lunch. She dashed outside and had words with the bully.<\/p>\n
The last I saw was the bully being hauled off to the principal\u2019s office.<\/p>\n
Bullying is bad you know. And it takes all sorts of different forms \u2013 like being called names, being teased or being ignored and left out. Sometimes they push or pull you, steal your stuff or even hit you.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s wrong.<\/p>\n
I know it\u2019s scary if it\u2019s happening to you \u2013 but you HAVE to TELL somebody. Your teacher or your parents \u2013 anybody who can help you.<\/p>\n
You are not allowed to be bullied. Not even by an adult. They\u2019re not allowed to bully you either.<\/p>\n
Usually bullies are having a problem in life themselves \u2013 but it still does not give them the right to take it out on somebody else.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a violation of the bill of rights<\/a>\u2026 \u201cAll children should be protected against all types of violence.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Stand tall.<\/p>\n Sibo<\/p>\n PS \u2013 If you are an educator and are interested in getting wallcharts on the subject of \u201cBullying\u201d go and look at: http:\/\/www.letslook.wallcharts.biz\/reader\/?f985d9de-8929-11e1-8c5d-83e78d92b724#\/0<\/a><\/p>\n \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026..<\/p>\n Your new cool word for the week:<\/p>\n Word:\u00a0 pow-wow<\/p>\n Meaning:\u00a0 to have a discussion with, to talk to<\/p>\n Example: I had a pow-wow with my mum to see how we could help stop the little girl from being bullied.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hullo my friends.
