Today’s quotes surround the topic of bullying, a behavior that is toxic on every level. I’ve provided more than normal because I’ve been bullied before far too many times and each of these quotes really spoke to me on the subject.
“I realized that bullying never has to do with you. It’s the bully who’s insecure.” (Shay Mitchell)
“Is your child being bullied? Don’t make the assumption that s/he’s done something to bring on the teasing. Teasing isn’t always logical, and for your kid it doesn’t matter why – it just matters that it’s happening.” (Peggy Moss)
“Bullying is killing our kids. Being different is killing our kids and the kids who are bullying are dying inside. We have to save our kids whether they are bullied or they are bullying. They are all in pain.” (Cat Cora)
“It’s okay to dislike someone, or even dislike someone for no reason. But it’s not okay to disrespect, degrade, and humiliate that person.” (Unknown)
“When people say bad things about you it’s only because they are insecure with themselves. So next time someone says something mean remember it has NOTHING to do with you and EVERYTHING to do with them.” (Unknown)
“Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life, but define yourself.” (Harvey S. Firestone)
“You are being bullied if someone constantly demeans you, makes negative remarks about you, yells at you, criticizes you, and gives suggestions to you and then gives you guilt trips if you don’t take those suggestions.” (Unknown)
Peace, love, light, and joy,
