Anyone can stand up to bullying, no matter the age. Many of the schools I visit have this as their centerpiece to being a deterrent to bullying. The “See something, say something” programs are very popular across the nation. It thwarts a situation before the bullying can have a long term adverse affect.
Cal State, Long Beach professor, Jordan Smith and family stopped by and talked with me about the Bullying sign on The Kindness Bicycle. He and his wife teach their children to help with those who are bullied, adopting the “See something, say something” philosophy. The children are blessed to have such loving parents and vice versa.
