We've started M.O.B. Mothers on Bullying, our way of addressing bullying in the community. The purpose is to change not only one person, but one family at a time. We're addressing the children, and the parents. Empowering kids by letting them now it's ok to be themselves;that they don't have to be like anyone else in this world. Addressing the parents, letting them know positiveness begins in the home, as does bullying.
I was about 20 years old when I had this done. It meant the world to me then, and still does now. When I am in doubt about handling a curve ball, this gives me strength. It does not take away from my family, my friends, or my sweetheart. But it does serve to remind me that I am a strong, positive, intelligent woman who can make it on her own. No one can take that from me...and no one can take that from them.
I am a 22 year old college student doing a senior project on bullying, so I had to click your link from PYHO. I am definitely going to check out moms against bullying and hopefully include y'all in my research! Love your tattoo! :)
ReplyDeleteCool tattoo!! It's true, positiveness does begin in the home and we are role models to our kids.
