At the beginning of each new year people make resolutions or set goals for themselves. These resolutions or goals usually focus on self improvement. What if we all made a resolution to do something to stop bullying, gossiping, and other behaviors that tear relationships apart? I am challenging each of you to post a resolution that will make a difference in your life and better the lives of the people around you. Wouldn’t 2009 be a great year if we all stopped to think about our words and actions and how they affect the people around us? Remember Jodee Blanco’s words: “Bullying isn’t just the mean things we do; its all the nice things we CHOOSE not to do on purpose.”
