Bullying ends when people stand together to change what has happened to so many for so long. It stops when people like you stand up and say, “Enough!”
• Enough of feeling unsafe in school!
• Enough of avoiding school, and slipping grades, and not being able to concentrate!
• Enough of lost self-esteem and self-confidence!
• Enough of stomachaches and headaches that stem from fear!
Had enough? Stand with others to show you care.

- PACER became involved in bullying prevention efforts in response to research that indicated students with disabilities are bullied at a significantly higher rate than their peers. While many of PACER's resources have an emphasis on students with disabilities—they are designed to by used by all students—those with disabilities and those without disabilities; those that are bullied, those that witness bullying and those that bully.

ReplyDeleteYeah... Like last week I was at this kind a camp (its this stydying and fun thing in religion, Lutheranism, that you need to go through if you would like to get married or so in the future) as an "isonen" (it's a person whos's supposed to spent time with those campers and make sure that they have fun and everythings allright and so on... they tell campers what to do or like where to go and so)... and I saw something great:a couple of those "isonen"s allways spent time with those "famous" camper and like teased them a bit and so, and one day our tutor (it's like higher than isonen but lower than adults) just got enough: last evening she told us how she had been bullied in the past, and now she continued telling how she felt on her camp and how stupid they are by spending time only with those "famous" ones and how down can those other girls feel when they like ignore them, and so on... She talked like for 15 minutes and the boys were like omg... I don't know if they really made any change, but atleat tey got very silent for a while and stopped the plan they were thinking for the girls, when that tutor told she could sue them if they did that cause it was clearly said that it's against the rules...
