I think it takes a bit of knowledge and planning to know which situation might be the best one to make a stand. Bullying is something that is so hard to successfully fight which is why it is becoming so common. I only hope that those being bullied online will go to an adult who understands what to do because that seems to be where the most damage is done right now.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-2224776134271959512016-03-15T21:20:51.473-05:002016-03-15T21:20:51.473-05:00A bully really have no courage.

Once someone faces them, they shrink and disappear, just like the monsters we used to fear when we were small. I tried, and it was great.Ana Bailunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07399615369919172144noreply@blogger.com
