Uplift Your Life: Nourishment Of The Spirit

Bullying and mean girls are terms that we hear a lot. What no one admits is that mean girls is another way of saying bully and bully is a way of hiding the truth. It's all abuse. Yes, abuse is happening in our classrooms, schools and neighborhoods on an ongoing basis. We minimize it believing it's just a childhood phase. The problem is that these children grow up to be adults and the patterns of abuse that they have established continue into adulthood. The bullies even protect themselves from the truth believing that they've outgrown their childhood behaviors. Cliques and friendship clubs send a clear message to everyone that the people who belong are worthy and important and everyone else is not. Long after we've forgotten these childhood rejections they leave a mark on our self-esteem and our relationships. Schools, parents, coaches, camp counselors and anyone having responsibility for children need to help change this dysfunctional culture. Please join us Thursday to learn more.
