The Bully Project

I love Upworthy's videos; so when this one came up in my queue, I watched immediately.



This young man, Caine, is one of countless children being harassed daily in school. As a school teacher, I've seen first hand the struggles that so many of our young people face. It is incredibly difficult to be a kid these days. There are so many more ways for them to be hurt. You would think that as our population becomes more open and more diverse that people would be more accepting. However, that is not the case for so many children in small town America.

What I love the most about Caine's message is that he is using the administrative channels available to him to make change. He's not just trying to end suffering for himself, but for as many kids as possible.

Caine is just one of the representatives for The Bully Project. Please check out their website; and if you're so moved, get involved. We only have one world, and it is imperative that we learn to get along with it and with each other.

If you've had any experience with bullying, please share in the comments below. The more we talk about these issues, the easier it is for us to deal with them.

Cheers!
