One thing that wil never change is the power of words. Recently a high school student was sharing with me how bad she was teased in elementary school. The tears that she shed still flowed as if it were happening to her right then.

Parents have to be aware of the things that come out of their mouths and their actions because these things become the norm to their children. Teachers have to be vigilant and ask the children that they teach if they are okay? Ask them if anyone is bothering them. I work with youth who are on all sides of the spectrum; the honor student, the athlete, and the not so popular. When they walk into the room, I can see who is not having a good day, it is my responsibilty to reach out to them. Do we have enough people reaching out or are we too busy? Are we teaching our youth to reach out to one another?

Such truth here. I don’t think people realize the damage they do with their words at times…let this be a reminder to all of us! I really enjoy your posts here, and can’t wait for the next. Lots of love my friend.
