Legend says...Looking behind, I am filled with gratitude. Looking forward, I am filled with vision. Looking upwards, I am filled with strength. Looking within, I discover peace. To school-age students: "You CAN make a difference! When someone is being "talked down to" or "teased", be a friend! Interrupt, use humor, change the subject. If this behavior continues daily, tell an adult at school and your parents at home. Any unwanted, aggressive, repetitive behavior that involves a 'real' or 'perceived' power imbalance is wrong, no matter how long it has been accepted as normal. Ignoring these behaviors will NOT make them go away. Many of these behavior traits are considered crimes under state and federal law and may have serious consequences after the age of 18. Remember, when you see an imbalance of power with repetition, say something, stand up, and make a difference! Life is so much better when we focus on what truly matters...gratitude, vision, peace, etc." Basic Concepts...Great Start! - Shihan Deb and Shihan Jeff ...to be continued...
