Recently I came across a video on Facebook and I felt the need to share it with the rest of my Facebook friends. One particular line stood out to me after the video was over "Girls shouldn't be hit, not even with a flower"
The fact that each of these six boys were able to refrain from hitting her, even though they all had different reasons why they refused, i think that it was great to see that children are still being raised to do what is right. With stable homes and good influences around them.
Although some may argue that when put a bad situation and when anger is involved sometimes things are done without much thought. What I say to that is, it is better to walk away than to react in anger, acts done in anger will often turn into regret later.
SideNote:
The type of behavior we exhibit in front of children is important. It is scientifically proven that if a child grows up in a home with domestic violence, they are very likely to find themself in the same predicament becoming either the agressor or the victim. The cycle is ongoing.

I honestly can not wait to become a teacher, children can teach you humility everyday just by knowing and practicing what is morally right without much thought. If you notice, it didn't take very long for some to give a face of confusion when they were told to slap her. To them, It just didn't seem right.
Check out the video below !
By recycling this video I just want to share the obvious message that it is important to share with our youth that violence is never the answer, unless in life-threatening self-defense. Since we're on the topic of violence and children I wanted to redirect to the topic of bullying. Bullying is a world-wide issue in schools and has been for many years. Many students are committing suicide because they become victims of Bullying, it must STOP!
When I was in Middle School, I myself was bullied. Last semester I created an informational website for one of my classes where I chose to focus on Bullying. On the site I introduce different forms of Bullying, programs, intervention methods, and my personal story. My hopes in creating this website and making it public was that I would be able to help someone by having them see and understand that they are truly not alone in this world and that there are people who care about them. EVERY LIFE MATTERS.
