Back when I went to school we didn’t hear much about bullying. Now it seems as if bullying is everywhere we look. I blame a lot of this to the Internet. While the Internet isn’t the cause of the bullying, it does give children a broader playground to bully.
With our children trying to fit into their little groups, they take to the Internet to look cool. Whether this means bullying other children or doing stupid Internet challenges that are causing their bodies great harm.
What our children don’t realize, is their behavior is causing other children to become very depressed and this depression is causing a great deal of our young children to commit suicide. It’s time we as parents educate our children, we need to educate them how we treat others the way we want to be treated, we need to educate them to not take part in bullying and to seek help if someone they know is being bullied. We need to let our children know that bullying is NOT okay, and the actions of one can cause another their life.
Bullying is NEVER okay, and my daughter and I are going to help STOMP OUT Bullying!

About Jammie Morey
I try to support my son in everything he does and encourage self-confidence.
When I was growing up I dealt with a bit of bullying but it wasn’t as profound as today. You’re right about the internet, it certainly has a lot to do with it. I also know that is the school system knows about it, they don’t tolerate it! My oldest son was actually a victim of bullying but it was stomped out by the principal very quickly and did not escalate.
I do not have children but if I did I would do what my mother did with me. She always told me that my opinion of myself was important than anyone else’s so I grew up with enough confidence and self esteem that others bad words did not matter to me.
I encourage my boys, all scouts, to stand up for what is right and if they see someone being bullied, to get an adult. They should never take on a bully alone.
I encourage my kids to always be the better person and to never participate in negative talk about others or themselves.
Mine are grown now, but we always taught them to never hit first, but if they get hit, to be sure to hit back hard enough that the bully will never want to mess with them again.
Bullies will never go away. Always be yourself and tell an adult if you feel threatened.
I teach my son about empathy and that everyone has feelings and we should treat people kindly.
I encourage them to be themselves. I also tell them to say something if they see someone being bullied
I encourage them to be themselves by simply showing by example. We homeschool to help them do that. Thank you
I hope I have taught my kids to look at everyone with compassion.
I encourage them by letting them know they should be their own person and not to think they are weird or something is wrong with them just because someone might be or do something differently than them.
I encourage children to not just be who they are, but to stand up for others who may be too afraid to speak up against a bully. Everyone should have the right to express themselves without fear.
Be strong make sure you communicate with us so we can help you
I encourage them to treat everyone with love and kindness.
We encourage kindness and to not get involved in drama (talking about other people ect) and be friends with people that seem to get picked on.
I let them know that if they do not show offence or being hurt by bullying then the bully does not enjoy bullying them and stops. Also, I let them know how unique they are and if anyone wants to try to bully it’s not worth their time. They are very good about making sure they pay attention to not hurting others also as that would not be in good character.
I always let them know I am proud of them and that they haven’t done anything wrong and the bully who has problems
I encourage all to live everyday from the heart and everything else pans out!
I tell them that they are smart and beautiful people who are capable of doing anything in life that they want to do. I let them know that they are good and wonderful and will always be loved.
i encourage my kids to stand up for themselves by talking but not using their fists.
What I do to encourage my children to be themselves and to stand up against bullies is to model self acceptance behavior of myself and others and to have an open honest line of communication with them.
My favorite Dearfoams slipper from the new Young & Fun line is the Bright Fair Isle Knit Cozies in the cool combo coloring size small.
I do not have any kids yet, but I do have a two year old nephew. When the time is right his parents will encourage him with what to do including not sticking down to the bullies level.
I encourage children to be thinkers, To think before you act and think before you speak.Think about the words you say and would you want those words said to you.
I get my kids to walk away ignore bullies and be proud of who they are
I encourage my Grandkids by teaching them to respect people of other races, religion, sexual orientation, disabilities. I was bullied as a child because I was overweight and I have talked to my grandchildren about what it feels like to be bullied and how they can stand up for other people and make a difference.
I teach my daughter that confidence comes from oneself and no one can take that away. And that you never have to build yourself up by tearing someone else down.
i always encourage my kids to be themselves and never let anyone else put you down!
I teach my children to always be proud of who and what they are and never listen to what other people say about them. They both have confidence in themselves and are not easily bullied. I also taught them to stick up for those who are being bullied.
I make sure to constantly tell my son that he is perfect the way he is and that nobody can tell him otherwise. He is pretty good at standing up for himself.
i tell them to walk away and ignore the bully’s and that they are better than them
I encourage them to be themselves in all things and if anyone or anything makes them fell uncomfortable, tell an adult.
