Last night we attended the premiere of "Courage to Care," an anti-bullying movie which will be used as tool in middle school classrooms across the state. Our guest speaker was Miss New Hamsphire who talked about being brutally assaulted in her public high school, ending up with severe fractures and injuries. She said she had to go to a private school "so that I could live to graduate from high school." In the audience were the middle school children from throughout the state, who volunteered to act in the movie, some of whom have been bullied themselves. Miss New Hampshire's talk really resonated because she is an obviously charming, smart and beautiful young lady. We forget that bullies target those they envy as well as those the perceived as weak and vulnerable. Do something that discourages bullying today, whether it's sharing your own stories with a young person, offering to volunteer in anti-bullying program, or just talking to your child about being bullied or about bullying someone else.
