THERE ARE PLENTY OF WAYS TO BE A BULLY BUT ONLY ONE WAY TO BE A VICTIM: because we let them. GIVE BULLIES THE BOOT. Stand up FOR SOMEONE WHO IS too afraid TO stand up for themselves.

Be kind to everyone because you don't know what's going on in their life,maybe because of your little act of kindness someone will smile today  :)
