I'm sure many of you have already heard about the 72 year old grandmother who was grossly bullied on a school bus by four youngsters. This lady's job was to monitor student behavior so that nothing got out of hand. But this day, the four boys turned their wrath toward her. If you've not seen the YouTube clip yet, please follow the link below.

Bullying

 To me, this video brings to light once more how out-of-control bullying is and how nothing is going to change if all we do is sit back and tut-tut bad behaviors when we see them. Bullying is at epidemic levels and if we want to change things then we need to get involved! When we see unacceptable behaviors, we need to step in to help out. For if we do nothing, aren't we part of the problem rather than the solution?

 I'm reminded of a famous quote by Irish politician Edmund Burke:

'All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.'

 I'm not willing to do nothing anymore...are you?
