A young lady is supposed to be classy, kind, generous, and respectful. She is told she should not display any anger and/or badmouth her peers. A young lady is told to think âinside the boxâ and to limit her expectations because her husband will provide for her in the future. A young lady is taught to never fuss or complain and to always keep a smile on her face. When a young lady speaks her mind, she is told that she is not acting âladylikeâ. When a young lady steps out of her comfort zone to challenge herself to fight for what she wants, she is told she is not acting âladylikeâ. When a young lady plays a sport, and at times she may be aggressive, she is told that she is not acting âladylikeâ When a young lady is bossy, she is told to humble herself, because that is not acting âladylikeâ. Maybe she isnât bossy, maybe she is confident within herself, has high self-esteem and knows she can dare to be different.
Bullying is overlooked in the worst way. Why do our children have to struggle to fly because the bullies think they have the ability to clip their wings?
The silent killer does not weep over our children; instead, it sucks the life out of them until it has fully destroyed our children with the burden of stress and worries. This is what a child should not have to endure.
Time is an observer, it reminds me of a microscope because it magnifies within time what we cannot see with the naked eye. Time is a natural connection â it reveals and helps us clarify what was overlooked and what we didnât understand.
Our children who are being bullied shouldnât feel hopeless, they shouldnât fear for their lives, nor should they isolate themselves in silence because someone enjoys causing fear and getting a reaction out of them.
Our children will be counted, and justice will be served. Our babies deserve a fair chance at life. We are our childrenâs groundbreakers; therefore, we cannot give up. We might run out of breath but we must have the willpower when moving forward to fight for our childrenâs voices to be heard. Bullying is not accepted
