It's so helpful to be able to think about what we might say before the moment comes. <br />Allison<br />www.reachma.org/get-involved/small-actionsAllisonhttp://www.reachma.org/get-involved/small-actionsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694161.post-77438280890197928652012-10-04T11:21:14.294-05:002012-10-04T11:21:14.294-05:00October is Anti-Bullying month.

Lets all take a stand and protect those that are victims of <a href="http://missisaugacriminallawfirm.ca" rel="nofollow">domestic assaults</a>, workplace violence, or any other form of abuse. It really is important to tell someone if you see something wrong happening. Victims often feel guilty about the situation and won't tell a superior about the incident.

Someone who leaves a comment or post that is designed to upset others and start and argument or other such response online. I have personally never understood the appeal, but there certainly are plenty of other trolls out there. <br /><br />I will be reposting this to our blog (cottonwoodtransition.wordpress.com) as a part of the series "Media Monday."

Unfortunately,it's all too easy to post, tweet or text words or pictures to hurt others. That's the whole point of MTV's A Thin Line campaign. If "Anonymous" had taken the time to actually check out the campaign, s/he would have been able to read a full discussion of the "thin line" between sexting and cyberbullying and how changing your password decreases unwanted access to your social networking accounts. It's one of the quick, simple ways to "draw your line" to limit the opportunity for cyberbullying. The post by "Anonymous" is uninformed, inaccurate, unnecessary and a great example of the kind of stuff that needs to stop.Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694161.post-23690393915491026812012-04-23T12:44:01.406-05:002012-04-23T12:44:01.406-05:00This is absolutely retarded...

It is very true that when we have the mentality of, "it can't happen here," we put ourselves in our situation where we blind ourselves the possibilities of violence and bullying.
