Today my daughter spoke to a group of middle schoolers about bullying. She had originally created an anti-bullying campaign for the elementary students at her school. When the principal of the middle school saw the posters and asked her to speak to the middle schoolers, this ten-year-old girl spoke passionately about standing up for yourself and doing what’s right.
Afterward, students came to her to thank her for speaking out.

All children should be able to do this.
I really like this. Its so good to have dialogue about this, and your daughter stands as an inspiration to others in her beautiful courage and truth.
Thank you for recognizing that. I read about children who don’t even have a voice, so celebrating the voice ours have means even more.
Hi Lisa
It is such a speechless moment of glory of you. You are the proud mother of a brave daughter who did something that barely anyone her age would even have an idea about. Do convey her my love and support.

That is really inspirational, if someone was confident and brave enough to speak about bullying at my school, when I was younger, not a teacher but a fellow student, I think a whole lot of those kids would be very inspired!
Thanks for sharing this Lisa — more power to your daughter – all the best wishes to her!
Thanks for reading. I really love your stories. Keep writing because I can’t stop reading what you write.
You must be so proud. Your daughter’s actions are a true testament to how her mother has raised and imparted to her.
Thank you for the kind and truly appreciated recognition. It’s tough, but I act as a guide, nothing else.
Clearly the kids are telling of their mother. You must be so proud.
Wow! Your daughter rocks. What a wonderful thing for her to do!
It’s good to be awesome to your daughter!
