Responsible Actions
Actions do speak louder than words, for sure, if you follow the pattern, thoughts lead to
words and words translate into action. That is unless, of course, you are a bag of wind
and never follow through on anything you say. Kids, though, get placed on the
battlefield of the bully/victim dynamic through their words, and get pressured into taking
action. Of course, this all starts in their thoughts. The more that gets said, the more
action has to be taken. Most of the time, these actions are taken out of impulse, leading
to serious problems among bullies, victims, and other students who they are friends
with, creating discipline problems for teachers, administration, and the school's bullying
specialist. Always keep your hand on the pulse of your classroom, and your school, and
listen for threatening words that you know could lead to a bullying event. At this point,
the child's or teen's thoughts have escaped the confines of his secret life and have now
become public. STOP HIM NOW, before you have a bigger problem to deal with.
