In light of recent violent events I feel a need to say something. I read a news story that deeply saddened me as a human being, and as a parent. A high school student lost his life due to a bullying conflict. First, my deepest sympathies to the family and friends and community!
We as adults and parents need to do better. Ask your kids questions, lots of them. Pray with them. Talk with them, not at them. Give them a safe place at home to voice their feelings and stressors. Don't dismiss them as kids nonsense. Adults across the country listen up! The hatred and violence among us needs to stop! We are teaching our children to hate, belittle and disrespect anyone that is different or has a difference of opinion. Enough is enough! Children learn what they see, not what they are told. Let's change the world by changing our own behavior. Let's set an example of peace, caring and decency, for the sake of our children, our future.
