Never do a wrong thing to make a friend--or to keep one. ↗

I had never liked bullying of any sort, especially when an individual acquires his courage by becoming part of a faceless mob. I always say if you need fake courage, get it out of a bottle like I do. ↗

I want to leave behind me the name of a fellow who never bullied a little boy, or turned his back on a big one. ↗

I don't care what people say about how I look or even their opinion on my relationship. But the moment you judge my character is when we have a problem. ↗

The road to a brighter humanity is though the minds of our children. We can either fill them with anger & fear or inspiring empowerment. The choice is ours! Timothy Pina Bullying Ben ↗

Abstaining from sex, hitting the books, and wearing loose-fitting clothes are common ways that girls try to molt their "slutty" image. But more often their shame leads them to self-destructive behavior. They become willing to do things that they wouldn't have dreamed of doing before they were scandalized because they now feel they have so little to offer. Some girls do drugs or drink to excess in an attempt to blot away their stigma. Others become depressed and anorexic. And others think so little of themselves that they date boys who insult or beat them. ↗

Children usually have a natural curiosity about the world and everything in it until they get to school and somebody throws them against the locker because they get A's and act intelligent. After that, some kids try to dumb it down and adapt. ↗

Most kids grow sullen and angry when they’re working through issues, but Thanet mustered up another kind of bull-headed strength. The kind that sees beyond circumstances to what really matters. How could anyone hurt a soul that lovely? ↗

I will no longer let the fear of vicious comments or replies stop me from speaking what I believe to be right. I will also never give a message that everybody will agree with. I know that even my most faithful followers will never agree 100% with what I say. I also know that they know that and are fine with it. I am done letting the bullies win. They won’t anymore. Not here. ↗

Often the right path is the one that may be hardest for you to follow. But the hard path is also the one that will make you grow as a human being. ↗
