Pledge Against Bullying & Grooming (predators)

Sometimes, talking to others about our issues can be very hard and scary. That's why we're providing a space for you to write down your thoughts and share information that you might want to pass on to someone who can help. It's a safe place to express yourself and find the support you need.

I pledge to never knowingly bully another person. I will treat everyone with kindness and respect, regardless of our differences. __________________

I pledge to report any incidents of bullying against me or others to an adult immediately. I understand that speaking up can make a big difference and help create a safer environment for everyone. ______________________

I pledge to stand up for others who are being bullied. If I see someone being hurt or mistreated, I will offer my support and help them find someone who can assist. _____________________

I pledge to be a friend and ally to those who feel isolated or alone. I will reach out to others, listen to their concerns, and offer my friendship. __________________

I pledge to educate myself and others about the impact of bullying. I will learn about the effects of bullying and share this knowledge with my peers to promote understanding and empathy. _____________________

Protecting our children

As parents, it’s our job to sacrifice ourselves, not our children. It’s our job to protect our children and for the majority of us, we get that right. But where some parents serve to protect themselves out of selfishness, it’s the children that become the victims. Sadly, the recent sad story about Sherin Mathews reinforces that view. Beautiful angel.

I turn to my own life and what I had to deal with. Each and every blog I write, reminds me of what I went through as a child. My blog allows me to reflect on my own childhood experiences on what I had to deal with. My thoughts right a wrong. It’s a reflection tool, not so others can justify themselves, but so they can look at where they could have done things differently.

As parents, it’s our job to protect our children. No child should have to deal with abuse. Children are just children, they rely on us. They must be protected. We were all children once. What we must take from our childhood, is that it’s up to us to change the way we perceive our life, post childhood. We can’t change what’s happened to us, but we can become stronger.

In my own case although I’m not happy with the way my life has played out up to my diagnosis, I have found a better way to address my issues. I understand why my life had to happen this way, but even with an understanding, it in no way gets others responsible off the hook. They're still accountable.

The long and short is that however our life plays out, others who are responsible and accountable for their part, still very much remain responsible and accountable.
