Children being bullied

Challenge: Children exposed to risk, stress, or truma

Topic: Children who are bullied

I chose this topic because I love children and when it comes to them being hurt emotionally and physically, I do not like seeing something like that happening to them. As a child I was being bullied because children would laugh at the clothes and shoes I wore to school. I was a person who kept to myself and did not say much to anyone. Now that I have a daughter, she was bullied by children of the same race because of the color of her skin. 

She was bullied during her elementary school years, which carried over into middle school and lastly to high school. There were lots of children who would call her names like, smut, tar baby or a monkey. There were children who she thought was her friend would sometimes join in on the bullying.

  As an adult, I have seen children being bullied or have talked about someone bullying them beginning at a young age. I have come in contact with children who are bullied and with the person that was bulling others. In my Pre-K classroom, I have came up with lesson plans to incorporate in the classroom to help prevent this from happening. I will also have the children to help come up with some ideas about how and what to do when they feel someone is bullying them or a friend.
