B.C. unveils website to allow students to report bullying, a month after Amanda Todd's suicide (with video):

Efforts to stop bullying require a culture change in schools and communities, Premier Christy Clark tells anti-bullying conference

By James Keller, The Canadian Press November 14, 2012

VANCOUVER - Efforts to stop bullying require a culture change in schools and communities, Premier Christy Clark told an anti-bullying conference Tuesday.“Kids are swimming in a culture of mean all the time and we have to address that,” she said during the Vancouver forum, organized after the suicide last month of Port Coquitlam teenager Amanda Todd. The meeting opened with a government announcement of a new website that will allow B.C. students to make anonymous reports about bullying by peers or by adults.Their reports will trigger an alert to a safe school coordinator, who will determine the best course of action and contact the police, if necessary, the forum was told. Every school district in the province has a safe-school coordinator, and they will also be responsible for identifying trends and hot spots in schools.Bullying can no longer be dismissed as simply a part of growing up, Clark said. “Bullying is not a rite of passage; bullying does not build character for children.”

You

The greatest thing ever
I was ever told
Was I am here for you
You are not alone

Such a simple phrase to deliver
So simple to relay
Yet far reaching it is
To give love in this way

A verbally connected hug
A word of unity
A beautiful moment shared
A divine opportunity

You are not alone now
Your cries I hear and know
It’s okay to be afraid
Love starts to grow

For the true essence of love
Is not in a ceremonial ring
But in the unity of a people
And the comfort that brings

You are not alone in your anguish
Your breaking heart is my key
That you are seeking understanding
Fellowship…humanity

Your situation may be unique
Of that we both know to be true
But the isolation you feel
It’s something I’ve gone through

So when your blue skies turn gloomy
The clouds are dark and grim
I will be there to talk to
Reaching the soul from within

I may not be able to change it
But I will sit and hear your sighs
My heart will reach out
Further than you realize

So scream…yell or sob
I will hold your hand…have your back
Your journey although different
I know where you are at

And I will sit and quietly listen
May shed a tear or two
For I remember that Fall day
When the one I needed…was you

Most mother pigs in Canada are kept in barren metal cages called gestation crates. In these crates, a sow will spend almost her entire life so confined that she isn’t even able to turn around. Ask Canadian grocery stores to get rid of gestation crates!

Dear World « myraysoflight

Dear World « myraysoflight:

Dear World, You may be wondering why I am writing you right now…I understand. But the truth is; I have been watching you…and my eyes fill with tears. I have watched your triumphs; where you will pull together as people and embrace one another, as a family should. I have watched you fight for the survival of a species of animal that was crying out for your love and attention. I have seen you go to the aide of those affected by a natural disaster; during these times I have been extremely proud of you. I have seen you at your worst; when you thought no one was watching. I have seen you steal from one another; even if you are only stealing time. I have watched as you erected huge walls and fences to keep one another out. I have watched you remove one another from the lands that you live in, out of some false sense of ownership. I have watched you hang your brothers and sisters, because you found offense in the color of their skin. I have seen you burn Holy Books out of some need to control one another. You have let money turn you against one another; it brings out the very worst in your character. So I wanted to take a moment today and reach out to you. I want to remind you of some core truths; and once I deliver them to you…hold onto them. You have a very complex soul. It’s beautiful, but obviously it has been tested. I feel pain and such love in you. You know, we often have to deal with life altering events; some of us don’t do so well. Basically we have to do our very best; and move on. Your heart is full and when the time is just right; you are going to be able to share it with the world. Don’t let anyone convince you to dim your light…it is there to guide you and others who will follow you. Believe me, they will follow you. Make sure your words are true, but responsible. Speak with a giving tone and know that you can create a better place for your fellow man…starting with a smile. Love with your whole heart; love is never a mistake. And if love doesn’t turn out to be what you thought it would be…embrace it for what it is and appreciate the experience. I promise you, with my whole heart, loving anyone is never a mistake. There are times, of course, when we must walk away from relationships; but do not confuse the pain of a separation for a pain from love. Love never hurts…it is only walking away from love that causes us pain. Give people hope. It’s okay to be upset or frustrated…but please do not take the hopes of man, while you are doing it. Give assurance, be positive. Smile and spread sunshine…wherever you may go. It is okay to grieve…it is a celebration of life. But do not dwell in your grief; mourning a loved one is just further acknowledgement of how wonderful they were to you. The love and care our loved ones gave us on earth…multiplies in the hereafter…surrounding us constantly. So don’t feel bad about letting a tear fall; as long as you cushion it with laughter and wonderful memories. Listen to your heart, and let it converse with your soul…it keeps you safe. Fight the good fight…and that means to simply defend those who cannot defend themselves…not necessarily with violence. Use your words…make a stand…demand a change. And keep on demanding until the world gets so sick of you that they change. The first step is the hardest…but people will follow. Everyone is looking for THAT HERO…the one who stood up when everyone else was sitting down. With Love, Me
