"Everyone wants to change the world. No one wants to change themselves"-Nothing More, Do You Really Want It
It's time we had an honest talk about bullying. Not you and I, but society and itself. Everyone has been bullied before, and the sad truth is that everyone has probably been the bully before. Life is not perfect, and it's certainly not as linear as anti-bullying memes make it out to be. The truth is that no one is perfect-not you, not I, and we've all made mistakes before. From our parents, to our teachers, to yes, even ourselves.
I get the troubling feeling that the anti bullying commercials, memes and PSA announcements mean well but don't hit the mark. No one is in favor of bullying anyone, but do you think that someone is going to stop terrorizing someone else because some sports star or celebrity spoke out against bullying? How many of those celebrities or athletes were part of the cool clique in high school who tormented the uncool kids?
