A friend posted this on his facebook wall. I think it's a good one to share. When people think of bullying, they think of physical violence, and as the poem says, everyone likes to fall back on the addage "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me"... If only that were true. Unfortunately, the reality is that broken bones are easier to mend than self-esteem; and physical violence is usually easier to detect than verrbal abuse. Teachers and parents should never underestimate the power of words and the importance of being on the look-out against this more insidious form of abuse among children.
