Expect the Best!
Expect the Best
What's exciting about life is that every morning offers a brand new day with unlimited possibilities. Yesterday's mistakes and regrets belong to yesterday. Today is a clean slate, a chance to start over, to do or become anything you want, a chance to go for it! So, jump into life with both feet! Go forward, head held high, expecting the best......you may be surprised at how often that's exactly what you'll get!

Found this book: The Bully, the Bullied, and the Bystander by Barbara Coloroso
This book is very good in helping to understand the different roles that people play when the bullying is occurring.
The Bully, the bullied, and the bystander
- Book by Barbara Coloroso
It's the deadliest combination going: bullies who terrorize, bullied kids who are afraid to tell, bystanders who watch, and adults who see the incidents as a normal part of childhood. ...
Coloroso starts her book with a quote from the
movie Chocolat -Pere Henri-
I think we can't go around measuring our goodness by what we don't do, by what we deny ourselves,
what we resist, and who we exclude. I think we've got to measure goodness by what we embrace,
what we create, and who we include.
Overview
It's the deadliest combination going: bullies who terrorize, bullied kids who are afraid to tell, bystanders who watch, and adults who see the incidents as a normal part of childhood. All it takes to understand that this is a recipe for tragedy is a glance at headlines across the country. In this updated edition of The Bully, the Bullied, and the Bystander, which includes a new section on cyberbullying, one of the world's most trusted parenting educators gives parents, caregivers, educators—and most of all, kids—the tools to break the cycle of violence.
Drawing on her decades of work with troubled youth, and her wide experience in the areas of conflict resolution and reconciliatory justice, Barbara Coloroso explains:
- Readers learn:
- what bullying is and what it isn't
- the three kinds of bullying
- the differences and similarities between boy and girl bullies
- how to read the subtle clues that a child is being bullied
- seven steps to take if your child is a bully
- four abilities that protect your child from succumbing to a bully
- why zero tolerance policies can equal zero thinking
- why contempt, not anger, drives bullying, and how to confront this in bullies

Bullying Must Stop!
This blog will be dedicated to all the victims of bullying. We must stop bullies, and make all bullies realize that there are other avenues for seeking attention. I also want for the bullied to stand up by speaking up and telling someone. There is help for the victim, you just have to know where to look for it.
