Gryphons…Have you ever been bullied? Have you ever tried to help someone else who was being bullied? Have you ever started playing with or teasing someone and the teasing went too far? Have you ever felt harassed, threatened or even irritated by the need to ask someone over and over again to “stop”? Gryphons…have you ever been the perpetrator or the one who was doing the bullying? Today and everyday, we want to stop it…once and for all. If you bully you can also be bullied. Stop the madness…not only today, but everyday! Treat others the way you want to be treated.
