Bullying and gender stereotypes
are precursors to larger social issues such as domestic violence. My puppy
life exposed me to conflict where my human Mummy couldn’t always be there to
protect me. I was loved dearly and the only way Mummy felt she could
protect me, and the rest of my family was to pluck up the courage to move far, far away, so that we could make
a new life and recover from our trauma.
As an experienced survivor of
bullying, I love learning languages and is a stand against
bullying. I am all about healthy communication and helping my friends to feel
understood and to understand them. My understanding and use of foreign
language and experience in living within different cultures and difficult
situations gives me compassion and the ability to understand others and
resolve issues quickly. I want to show the world what I have learnt and share my experiences to help others, so they don’t have to experience what I did.
I believe that by teaching
children, with the help from my pals, about healthy communication, conflict
resolution and acceptance of diversity, we will break down traditional gender
stereotypes and learn about equality and consent. Creating healthy
relationships while raising good self-esteem and eliminate bullying from the
inside out.
It’s only by educating children from
an early age that we can create a loving and tolerant generation and put an end
to bullying and I will aim to be that role model of love, tolerance
and the anti-bullying go to for children.
‘A
bully won’t stop until his mindset is dropped.’
