I was suspended from school for 2 weeks. The bully got off with less than a week. He never bullied me or anyone else again though. In grade 9 - many years later, he ended up approaching me at jr. high & apologized for picking on me when we were younger. He confessed that he never really had anything against me or any other POC kids but his parents hated people who weren't white & taught him to hate POC kids. His parents were abusive to him behind closed doors & he ended up in foster care. I was approached by him, with a genuine apology & we talked for 2 hours straight. This was 4 years into his foster family life. He got help/support for the CA endured & had changed a lot. I hugged him afterwards & told him that I forgive him. I told him that I'm thankful for his apology & that I'm sorry he had such awful parents because all kids deserve to have loving parents & a safe home.

Sometimes, we are lucky enough to make peace with our former bullies.

Pink T-shirt day is February 25.

We are a small non profit society based in BC Canada.
Http://nobullies.ca
In 2009 we started our program here by giving shirts out to schools in our area. This is something we continue today, donating thousands of shirts annually to local schools. Your purchase helps us continue this endeavour.

Wearing a pink shirt on this day sends a strong message to victims of bullying that others care. Often, the simple act of wearing a shirt can start conversations - conversations can be a big step towards healing and helping!

Local PDs send cops into schools for #antibullying events & it's straight up #copaganda to indoctrinate kids.

Exciting news! My research proposal "What drives teacher responses to racist bullying? Testing an integrated theoretical model" has been awarded NWO funding!
Many children face racist bullying, and teachers often feel uncertain addressing it. Building on our earlier interview study (https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2024.1393719), I'll test a theoretical model with primary & secondary teachers to identify factors that help or hinder effective responses.
