Personally, I think the whole world should be a no bullying zone. Unfortunately, my wanting something does not make it happen. If all it took was my desire, we would have a perfect world with nothing but goodness.
To put an end to bullying, we ALL need to get involved. There is no neutral zone. There is no standing by and saying it isn't our concern. Justice and fairness is EVERYONE'S concern. Bullying too often leads to a lifetime of self-hating or even suicide. We need to say "No more!" I'm talking about ALL bullying too. None of it is ever acceptable.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu said it best: "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality."
Today is National Stop Bullying Day, part of the month-long campaign to prevent bullying. Let's all get involved. Let's not see any more lives ruined because of bullying.
