I Faced School Bullying

October 5th, 2008

I have written this article to tell you that there are many great aspects to school bullying, which we will go over right here, so that you may get the most from it and learn more about in general.

We worry about a lot of things as parents, and when our children start school, we have a whole host of new things to think about. I’m not too concerned with how well my daughter will do, because by all accounts shes a bright girl. I do worry about her falling under the influence of the wrong people, and I do worry about school bullying. I think we all have at least seen this in action, and many of us have had to deal with it at least once before we left high school.

I had to put up with some school bullying because I moved around a lot. We rarely stayed in one place for any longer than a year, and that meant I was always changing schools. Being the new kid is hard when you have to do it once. Can you imagine what it is like to start a new school each year, and sometimes even having to start in a new place twice in one school year? It was never easy, and being the new kid in class sometimes made me the target of school bullying.

We have had a lot of fun during the first portion of this article and hopefully you feel as though you have a firm grasp on the topic.

Luckily for me, it never went too far. I was a quiet student, but I also had a strong sense of self. There were moments when I felt horrible about myself, but I never let someone at school make me feel that way. I learned to ignore those who liked to pick on the new kid, and I was a happier kid for it. I do know that once I was no longer the new kid, the school bullying seemed to stop and those kids would then focus on the newer person. It was horrible to watch, but I was always glad when they were done with me.

As I got older, I faced school bullying right from the get go and as a result, it never went anywhere. There was just something about me that made people stop once I confronted them. Perhaps I had to be tough because I moved around so much, but I may never know what it was. I do know my daughter is very outgoing, and I hope that if she ever encounters school bullying that she can handle it like I did. I do know that I will try to guarantee that she never has to change schools. At least that is one source of school bullying I can help her avoid.

It is small things, like this article, that can help you in your seek for knowledge about school bullying. So, sit down and choose which avenue would be best for you to pursue.

All About School Fundraising

October 4th, 2008

In the following paragraphs about, we’ll tell you about school fundraising. Hopefully you’ll find the facts you get in this article useful.

I can always tell when the school year begins in the fall. My doorbell rings at least twice a week with children trying to sell me something that is way overpriced or super impractical. Usually, the first one or two kids who target my house will walk away with an order. After that, I’m not interested. School fundraising is something that will never go away and students will always feel obligated to do for their schools. Usually, prizes can be earned or won – a supposed incentive for these kids to sell their hearts out. In all honesty, you could buy the prize for a lot less than the amounts you have to sell in order to earn it.

Typically, the items that school fundraisings are overpriced. You’ll find yourself paying double what you’d pay in a department store for wrapping paper or candy. However, times have changed. There are so many different things that school fundraising sells to the public today that really can be reasonable and of great assistance to the schools. I’ve seen pizza sales, sub sandwich sales, chicken barbecue, raffle tickets – lots of creative things. Typically, I buy an Entertainment book each year from the first kid who knocks on my door. I’m not sure how much gets given to the school fundraiser, but it is something that I use frequently and would much rather buy from a student than a store.

My daughter’s preschool has a school fundraising project every year. It seems a bit ridiculous because these are children under the age of five who have no clue how to ask people to buy things, so moms and dads get to sell stuff for them. I’m currently selling pies to help the school buy new playground equipment. I don’t mind participating in a school fundraising project because I know that my child will be benefiting from it. And, I know that they desperately need to get some new things for the playground and there just isn’t the state aid or donations there to allow for that to happen.

A lot of times, school fundraising is for sports or another extracurricular activity. Perhaps the teams need money to buy uniforms or take a trip someplace. It isn’t always fair to ask the parents of the children involved to continue to dump money into the programs on top of the fees that they already incur by allowing their children to participate. That’s when school fundraising reaches out to the community and public. Purchasing one item, even something small, puts some cash back into the school or fund that allows for some growth and success. Not only are you helping by participating in school fundraising, but, you are also helping to teach the children life lessons as well.
