Is bullying an issue for your child? I share my experience with two of my sons, and the new incredible documentary being shown to Utah children.
“Recently, a KSL reporter did a story on the showing of “Bully,” a documentary following five kids and families over the course of a school year — particularly Alex Libby — and the horrific bullying they experienced. Just seeing the short clip had me in tears. Not just for Alex’s experience, but because it reminded me of my son’s.
My oldest son has Asperger’s syndrome, which has often made him a bully target. For a long while, my husband and I followed the “protection through policy” and encouraged him and our other children to stand firm in following the school rules. I cringe to think I’m the one that told my eldest son, “Pull the teacher aside and tell him what’s happening. He’s there to ensure the classroom is a safe place.” Click here to read more.
