As a Teacher, Paraprofessional, or even an Adult, we should always step in and put and end to bullying.
At least when we see it or know about it. Bullying will never go away. Their will be those that will
always bully. The least we as adults can do is step up to the plate and act against it. Show other
bystanders that is not alright to belittle others or push them around. We need to set examples and that
starts with home. We need to let our children know that it is unacceptable and will never be, no matter
the circumstances.
