Did you know that every time your child is bullied, it leaves a mark, physical, emotional or psychological
And did you know that every time your child is bullied… so are you!
Every time you seek support and fail to get the support you need for your child, you and your family are being bullied again through neglect and broken, dysfunctional systems.
Don’t stand by and let that happen. Trust your gut instinct. If it doesn’t feel right, then it isn’t right!
Don’t stop looking for and expecting solutions until you receive some. If you failed to find answers in the past, don’t beat yourself up or feel guilty, instead, keep in mind this quote “I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better” Maya Angelou.
Now, refocus you efforts and more determined than ever, continue your search for answers.
Have you ever felt bullied because your child was bullied? How did it make you feel? Did you listen to your intuitive gut feeling and renew your efforts to find answers?
You may like to start your search to find some of those answers here on Create Space in my Bullying & Beyond series, here are two suggestions,

It’s a sad fact Kate that detailed perscriptive policies exist but implimenting them in under-funded, over stretched systems makes these policies unworkable and it’s the innocent victim that loses out in the end.

and that ripples out into their family and community so everyone loses out …
then they may go to institutions eg prison or psych units and the govt will complain about the cost but forget that they were the ones who should have prevented this in the first place!

Thank you for sharing!.. unfortunately most in society tend to ignore issues unless it affects them directly in some manner… as the saying goes ” an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” and if more people would get interested and active in issues, a good number of issues would be resolved early… 🙂 dealing with bullying is like dealing with cancer, early detection to obtain a quick cure… 🙂
Have a wonderful day, and every day, with no bullying but filled with love and happiness… 🙂
