This week's theme... The Littlest Muscle



Ever noticed how difficult it can be to tame your tongue. . . to keep it from vocalizing unkind thoughts? Small as it is, the tongue is one of the most powerful muscles in the body. It can hurt or heal, discourage or empower. So next time this smallest of muscles tries to steer you into murky, unkind waters, take the helm and head for the clear waters of a kind heart.

Most of you know that **Cyberbullying** is when a person "harrasses" someone else using technology, such as: Instant Message, email, web site, blogs, bulletin boards, chat rooms, online video games, cell phone texting, or anywhere that information can be passed on to cyberbully victims! The main message is to embarrass, impress, make a person feel superior/inferior, or threaten someone through an anonymous method.

What would you do if this happened to you? Has anyone ever said anything that made you feel that you were being bullied? Have you ever said something that you wish you could take back later? Has someone ever said something to you that they later were sorry for? What do you do to CONTROL your LITTLE MUSCLE?

 * //Of course everyone has said something that they regret saying sometime in their life. It takes a lot of practice and control not to say something you might regret later on. It takes practice to think about what you are going to say before you speak.//**


 * //I am sure that everyone knows that harassment and threats are considered criminal behavior and parents are liable for their children's actions. If you are bullied you should report it immediately to an adult. If you are being bullied it is not your fault and you are not responible for what is happening to you. If you see someone else being bullying (in school, on the bus, in your neighborhood, or online) stand up for the person getting bullied! We all need a little help now and then... it just might make the difference in someone's life!//**
