] Date Posted: 13:41:22 01/29/14 Wed In reply to: Miss CA Class of 2013 's message, "Please consider!" on 10:39:51 01/28/14 Tue As a middle school teacher, I see the effects of cyber bullying every single day with my students. In fact, I had a student who came in after school today to talk to me about this very subject. She was telling me how hard middle school is because her peers make fun of her looks and weight- both in person and online. I told her that she just has to live her life without worrying about what other people think. She looked at me, though, and said, "But sometimes it feels like I don't have a life." Bullying has affected her so much that she now feels so little of herself, and that is beyond sad. It astounds me that we, as an organization, preach about anti-bullying and anti-cyber bullying; but yet, supporters of our organization come on boards like this and put people down left and right. Cyber bullying on an anonymous message board isn't any different than the cyber bullying we urge our middle schoolers to stop doing. #standup [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 15:12:05 01/29/14 Wed Wow, am I proud reading through these messages! You go class of 2013 <3 I may not be apart of the 2013 class, but I can most definitely attest to the wonders that this organization has done in my life. I have met countless directors, volunteers, and "sisters" who speak nothing but encouragement and faith into us as title holders. Yes, there may have been mistakes made here and there by certain individuals, or disagreements about how things are done, but that by NO means makes the bullying behavior that is being displayed on this forum acceptable. We are on organizations that promotes serving and building up of those around us, not the tearing down. Thank you ladies for banding together and confronting this issue! So blessed to call you all sisters. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
