Got this from MoonwatchersCrafts and oh my gosh, I wish this was taught in every where!
"A teacher in New York was teaching her class about bullying and gave them the following exercise to perform. She had the children take out a piece of paper and told them to crumple it up, stomp on it and really mess it up, not to rip it. Then she had them unfold the paper, smooth it out and look at how scarred and dirty it was. She then told them to tell it they're sorry. Now, even though they said they were sorry and tried to fix the paper, she pointed out all the scars they left behind. And that those scars will never go away no matter how hard they tried to fix it. That is what happens when a child bullies another child, they may say they're sorry, but the scars are there forever. The looks on the faces of the children in the classroom told her the message hit home. Copy and paste this if you are against bullying."
For those who are close and know me, as a kid I grew up being bullied from kindergarten to 4th grade, went to home schooling up until 7th grade (And met my wonderful and amazing sister/best friend, MazyL, during the homeschool period!), then went back to public school in 8th grade and I am soon to be in 11th after summer break ends. But this, this hear means a lot to me. Because the time I was in public schooling and still to this day I am bullied or have been and know this exact feeling and meaning! As a victim, this means a ton to me and again, I wish this was taught everywhere to everyone of all ages!
Re-post and/or spread this journal around and share this! It means a lot!

Repost If You Wish
I support this. I'm against bullying, because I know how it feels and I lost a kid in my school last year because of it... Please, spread awareness.
Progression Over Time
I take a look at characters over time, and just-... It amazes me seeing how they've developed over time to what they look like now.
Like, Shadow for example:
2015
2016
(I will never forget how coloring those wings in the same, constant direction, multiple times, near broke my hand... But it was worth the effort)
2017
2018
Just... Just WOW... All the changes in features, style, and anatomy over time...
And Derek:
2017
(I still envy that human sketch of him... Because it's one of the best human drawings I have of him, but it's a sketch...)
(Those PAWS though! I don't know if I'll ever draw a pair like those again that turned out so
Contest Winners
I'd like to first start off by saying, I am so sorry for the long wait to announce this! I've just been so busy and/or ill since the contest ended. The end of the school year for me is coming up in a mere 6 weeks and everyone's trying to cram things in, especially with state testing now starting on Tuesday, it's just- ugh!
But I'm here now! I had a very ill incident Friday that made me available this weekend ^^; I donated blood for the first time since I was finally of age to do so and I wanted to do it for several reasons. Fortunately, 1-3 people will walk another day with my donation :) Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure whoever saw wha

I am sorry that you have suffer because of this.
As a person that has been bullied all her childhood by people and family members (oh boy, and we Hispanics can come up with the meanest things), I wish this had been taught in schools, especially in elementary school where children's minds are fresher and they are usually a bunch of jerks to one another. I think this is an important message to be taught not only in schools but at home too. As a person that works directly with children (especially with those belonging in the Social Behavior Skills Unit), most of these hateful behaviors come from the child's parents, family and/or environment (and lack of discipline). Most of the time, being mean is a learned behavior and I think that it is mostly the parents' responsibility to teach their children what is right from wrong. We educators can assist in reinforcing these good social behaviors but most of the time we can't do much if the parents don't cooperate and teach good social behaviors at home. What I mean is that, yes, educators can teach and change how a naughty child acts towards others but it would be so much easier if the parents helped a little. I was taught by both my parents to "Trata a la gente como te gustaría que te traten (treat people the way you want to be treated)" what I mean is that I will probably be a jerk or ignore you, if you are a super jerk to me, but I never went around bullying people (like, if you don't have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all.) y'know. And as an aunt, I am teaching these things to my nephews and nieces so they don't become bullies, but I also teach them to don't let themselves be bullied by anybody and defend themselves.
On a side note, this should be taught to adults too, I have seen some pretty rude people in my career and it's quite sad.
Sorry about the rambling, it is that I did suffer a lot from bullying, it has been the cause of so much things in my life and if we can prevent it, we should. I will definitely share this message.
