Bullying
Hello Everyone
We are a happy lot of people here in Rocky Bay.
Have you noticed that it is much easier to be nice to other people when you are happy?
lt takes a really nice and also strong person to be nice to other people when things are not going so well for them.
The people in Rocky Bay all seem to like each other as well.
lt isn’t possible for everyone in the whole world to like everyone else it seems.
You don’t have to like everyone.
But if you don’t like someone; if they are not your ‘cup of tea’, it really is best to just leave them alone.
lt is better to focus on finding your own tribe rather than hating on someone.
lt is better to go and find something productive to do rather than spending your time telling someone how much you don’t like them.
Of course, you don’t get to choose who is in your class at school and you maybe won’t really like everyone you work with when you are older and have a job.
But we should try to get along and be considerate of others. lt really is the best path for a better world.
lf you are being bullied, whether you are a child or an adult, it is hard not to take it to heart, it is not easy to tell yourself to not let it hurt.
lt is very personal.
lf someone says ‘don’t let it bother you’ – that doesn’t help when the bullying is really bad, you can’t see how to cope, you can’t concentrate on your work, you feel it is ruining your whole life.
The first thing to do is understand why it is happening. This is reeeeeealy important.
lt is all too easy to feel that you are the one at fault and you are being picked on because there is something wrong with you – because we are social animals. We feel the need to get the support and also approval of others – it is a need humans have had for thousands of years – without the protection of a tribe in ancient times we would not have survived.
So this is how a human brain has evolved to work.
But we are in a modern society now and there are plenty of people around – so we can find another tribe to belong to.
We are not alone in the wilderness nowadays.
The truth is that if it appears that someone doesn’t like you and you are the one in the wrong, you are giving too much power away to someone who is NOT VERY NlCE!
Don’t give your power away!
Make a decision to take control. Build your courage and self-confidence.
This is your challenge to overcome.
The truth is that bullies are insecure people.
Why are they insecure?
Well, it could be one of many reasons. lt could be more than one reason.
They could be jealous of you. Yes! Really!
They could believe that your parents love you when they never get any good attention from theirs. You can’t see that because you don’t know what is going on in their home.
They could see that you are very good at school work and they are struggling with theirs. You could try to be their friend and help. This might seem an incredibly hard thing to ask you to do; but you would stop them bullying you because you are showing understanding of their pain.
So change your perception (what you think) of bullies. Pity the bully!
l shall say that again. Pity the bully!
When bullies are challenged or shown kindness, they usually back down!
Society sees victims as the good guys and bullies as the bad guys; but bullies often have problems. People who bully others online may have problems fitting into a social group and without many friends want to lash out because it makes them feel better to try and make other people feel bad or small or a failure. lt makes them feel big to make others feel small when really they are the ones who are lacking and inadequate.
lf they had a good life, they would be too busy living it to spend time bullying others! People who are hurting lash out to try and hurt others.
Some people think that joining in with a group of bullies makes them strong and edgy; but to be a good person is to be a stronger person – and more mature.
lf a group of bullies gang up on one person, there is another reason that you could think about. When a group of humans have a common enemy they feel a much closer bond with the other people in their group.
Humans have a huge need for connection with others and choosing another person to ‘wage warfare’ against can make the connection feel stronger. This still is not a very mature way to behave. lt is not kind. lt is not necessary.
lf you see someone being bullied, please step in.
lt is easier to tackle a bully when it is not you being attacked. When bullies are confronted by a strong person who ‘means business’ they will in almost every single case back down.
lf you are too scared to do this in case you start getting picked on, employ the help of an adult. lf you don’t feel you want to face your teacher – or even become a tell-tale/snitch/stool pigeon; then ask your parents or older brother or sister who might be in the same school to do the job for you.
You could save someone from a huge amount of misery and you could even save their life.
lt is a sad fact, but some children do take their own life if they are being bullied.
You let your parents sort a lot of things out in your life – why not this too!
Children need boundaries – that means there are things they are allowed to do and things they are not allowed to do. lt makes them feel secure. Some children don’t get given many boundaries and they feel lost and insecure so they lash out. They are not grown up yet and are not able to look after themselves. They may pick on a very nice person and try to make them feel bad about themselves because to make someone else feel small makes them feel bigger.
How wrong they are.
Scientists call bullying ‘dominance behaviour’. We see animals behaving like this too. lt even happens with adults. lt is happening all over the place!
The bully likes to see upset because it makes them feel more powerful.
You must show resilience and you will grow in self esteem.
You also have the right to protection from those in authority.
lf you are a bully – get yourself sorted out!
You may need help more than the person you are bullying.
When you grow up and look back at what you did, you will cringe with pain and discomfort. Do not do that to your older self. You will be in agony – especially if you have caused someone’s death. lt is not something you will want to live with for the rest of your life.
Bad karma my friend, bad karma!
Whether you are the bully or the bullied, you must reach out for help.
lf you go to your teacher and they don’t help, go to your parents.
lf they go to your headmistress and she doesn’t help, go over her head.
Keep going to a higher person until you get results!
Do not be fobbed off by people telling you to learn resilience.
When you are in the care of adults, they have a duty to look after all the children they are responsible for.
You have a right to not be bullied!!!
A bully is NOT superior to you because they are trying to put you down.
lf you want someone to talk to about anything, remember Childline is always there for you. Whatever you tell them – they have heard it all before. lt might even be someone in your family who is upsetting you. Childline knows about this blog and they want children who are upset to contact them. They told me.
lf you are a bully because you are hurting, please call them too. They will have better ideas and plans for you to follow than being a bully. You need to find better plan to follow than taking your problems out on other people. This is not a strategy that will serve you well through life.
lf your bullying comes from online. lf you are feeling inadequate because of seeing other people’s wonderful life online and comparing it to yours – you have a choice. (You must realise that life presented on lnstagram and Facebook, etc. is edited highlights, it may even be mostly lies!)
You have a choice to turn your back on it all and find another ways to live. There are much better ways of connecting with humans.
Don’t just follow fashion as though you were a brainless sheep in a flock following the others. Make the best choices for YOU.
Don’t give your power away!
Any feelings of loneliness or separation won’t be totally cured by social media.
The numbers of death from suicide for 10-34 year-olds is way too high and sometimes bullying is at the root of the problems young people feel they can’t overcome.
This is a very serious problem – and so avoidable!
Suicide gives such pain to a family left behind.
Bullying seems to be a bigger problem now than ever.
So you are different – we all are really – be like the witch in the Picture Gallery.
Own your own power!
lf you have been bullied in the past and you carry hurts and resentments still, you would do yourself the most enormous favour if you find some kind of closure to it. That means letting go of what happened. lf you are still carrying anger and pain about it, you are damaging yourself and not the person or people who bullied you.
This is a crazy thing that humans tend to do. They carry past hurts and resentments with them.
You are, in effect, carrying on their bad work yourself long after the bully has gone out of your life!
You can talk to someone about what happened and get it off your chest.
You can write about it in a journal by just dumping anything and everything that randomly comes into your head on paper or in a computer file. Don’t read back what you have written – leave it behind.
Carry out this process every time you start feeling upset and you will probably find that you need to do it less frequently as time goes on.
lf the bully made you scared of something, go and do that thing or face that thing and prove to yourself that you can do it or cope with it now. Then you will truly realize that they don’t have an invisible hold over you anymore.
Make a success of your life in spite of them – follow your dreams and realize your goals.
Success is always the best revenge.
lf you like my blog, please support it by telling all your friends and followers about it.
Thank you!
And see you again next Fun Friday!

Bullying is not fashionable – it is out of date!

Own your own power!!!
SALTY SAM SAYS
THE SALTY SAM NEWS DESK
This week Bill, Bob and I went for a walk over the fields. We love going on adventures.
You can walk on public footpaths all over the country; they are clearly marked by signposts. There can be footpaths over fields or through woods.
It is essential that you follow the Country Code when you walk in the countryside.
A very important part of that is to keep your dog on a lead so that they can never worry livestock.
You might think that you have a very calm, sweet-tempered dog but it can change its behaviour when it sees an animal like a sheep.
Even if it wants to just play with the sheep and chase it about in a game, the sheep will not like it and get very stressed.
A farmer has the right to shoot any dog that is worrying his or her animals.
It is very unlikely that they will want to do this but they know the terrible damage that a dog can do to a sheep or cow and they don’t want that to happen either!
Lots of sheep are horribly injured or even killed by dogs every year – and I mean lots!
So it is really the responsibility of dog-owners to make sure that situation can’t happen in the first place.
You must be careful to shut gates up carefully too as you walk across farmland.
Nobody wants livestock to escape onto a road where they could be injured.
A lot of gates that people can use to get in and out of fields when they walk along footpaths are kissing gates.
This is a gate that touches one end or another of a ‘V’-shaped fence.
You have to pull the gate open and push yourself around the end of the gate in a confined space inside the ‘V’-shaped fence.
There is very often only space for one person to go at a time – unless an adult is carrying a small child – or a dog.
Sheep and cows are not clever enough to get through these gates.
The gate is often difficult to open because there is a very strong spring on it that will pull the gate shut when you let it go.
But the catch does not always self-close so you should make sure the catch is closed properly with your fingers.
Always make sure the gate is properly closed.
Take your rubbish home with you too.
It looks disgusting and can be a danger to animals and birds.
In the last few months, I have had readers from new countries come to my blog.
That means I now have a readership from 161 territories.
The new readers are from:
Equatorial Guinea
Sudan
Algeria
Ethiopia
Mongolia
I would like to welcome you all!

lt’s the Weekend!
HOW TO MAKE A KNlTTED SCHOOL TEAM
How many children are there in your school?
How many adults does it take to look after them?
Here we have a teacher and her children and a caretaker, school secretary and lollipop man. Do you have these people at your school?
You will need 2 x 50g ball of skin-coloured yarn if you want to make a lot of characters.
Just knit the hair if you want a man doll and add more hair in the form of plaits or a bun if you want a woman doll. The dolls here all have black hair but you can give then brown or blonde hair instead.
If you want to make some dolls taller than others, just pull them slightly.
If you want a man teacher, just make him a pair of trousers like the lollipop man’s pair and a sweater like the school secretary’s sweater – of course you can make the sweater plain if you want it to be or with one stripe across the top or some other kind of pattern – just use your own design skills.
When you sew up the shoulder seams of the clothes, make sure that you only sew them up about 1cm so that there will be enough room to get the doll’s head through.
When you attach the top of a sleeve to a shoulder, make sure that you carefully match up the centre of the sleeve with the shoulder seam. You can find the centre of the sleeve by folding it in two and pinching the fold to make a temporary mark.
