Do you know someone who is being bullied? Sometimes just including that person in your activities and group of friends can make all the difference. It certainly did for high school sophomore Chy Johnson in Queen Creek, Arizona.
A special needs student born with a brain disorder, Chy came home from school every day crying about what the other students were saying to her. Looking for answers, her mother contacted another student at the school who was a friend of the family. The family friend was the school's starting quarterback, senior Carson Jones who decided to take the matter into his own hands by inviting Chy to sit with him and his friends during lunch. She's been hanging out with the boys ever since and the bullying has stopped. (Read the article from azfamily.com here>>)
Imagine that a gesture as small as including someone in your conversation or inviting them to join you at lunch could make such a lasting difference. We all need a support system to help us navigate through life. I'm sure you can think of someone who needs a bit more support. Take that first small step and make a difference.
