Adults Bully Also

How can we expect our children not to bully, when as adults we are bullying others?   Don't think you are a bully? 
 
Bullying is when someone keeps doing or saying things to have power over another person.
Some of the ways they bully other people are by: calling them names, saying or writing nasty things about them, leaving them out of activities, not talking to them, threatening them, making them feel uncomfortable or scared, taking or damaging their things, hitting or kicking them, or making them do things they don't want to do. 

     If you see someone else being bullied you should always try to stop it. If you do nothing, you're saying that bullying is okay with you!

I'm so sad to say that I know of a recent event that someone I love was bullied - I do NOT know how the adults involved in this can laugh and joke about leaving out my friend.  If you don't like her - then cut the ties - be an adult and send her an email and say - I think it is best that we are no longer friends - and be brave and give the dang reason - kids don't get along, no common interest or I like Jane and she doesn't like you so now I have no backbone and Jane won't like me if I talk to you.  She has cried real tears seeing the crap that has been posted on Facebook- why don't you do the grown up thing and NOT BRAG on Facebook - someday you will realize you have lost a good friend - but she will still be mine!

And in a Christian opinion - how about when you go to church on Sunday you stand up and brag about bullying my friend and making her cry - and how you all laughed and bragged on Facebook to make her feel even worse.
