GLSEN

Reflection
 
on the tools, i chose the "ready, set, respect" toolkit. this tool is helping students to have  respectful attitudes and respectful behaviors towards one another so every student could feel respected and safe. this makes me think about all the students who bully others and the students who get bullied.
 
i have a cousin that in elementary school was always getting bullied until one day he came home with a bruise on his leg and my aunt went to the school and made them do something about it. if it wasnt for that then he would have gotten bullied the rest of the school year. my cousin probably hated going to school because of this and probably never felt safe or respected. i cant imagine what it would be like having to go to a school where you never feel comfortable and are always looking over your shoulder.
 
so this tool, i find it very useful and think it is a good thing what GLSEN is trying to do here. and i like that the logo has its not only for straight people, because i think homosexual people sometimes feel isolated or not part of what goes in, and this logo says, "no, even the gay and lesbian people are helpful"

  1. its so sad that people bullying others because they are different from who they are ! Good thing that your aunt spoke up for your cousin and hopefully he can or will get stronger from whatever happens because of him being gay.
