Bullying Theme

Hello friends!

I have heard that some of you have been teasing other children at the playground—not just once in a while—but every day. Others have been telling tall tales at school about certain kids and persuading other kids not to hang out with them. I would call these things BULLYING.

Fairness and Faith

Being faithful to God while living in a world of inequalities is what is required of us. Fairness and faith are linked together and not able to be separated from each other. That’s just how it is. Recall the words of Micah 6:8. “The Lord God has told us what is right and what is demanded—see that justice is done, let mercy be your first concern, and humbly obey your God.”

Bullying and You

You probably know about Binky Barnes who is Arthur’s classmate in the Arthur cartoon TV show. He starts out early in the stories as part of a group (known as “The Tough Customers”) who bully others. But later, Arthur gets to know Binky and he becomes good friends with him.

On the SpongeBob SquarePants show, there’s Flatts the Flounder who really just wants to be a friend—but he always says that he wants to “kick SpongeBob’s butt” and scares SpongeBob into thinking that Flatts wants to hurt him. It takes some time but each one comes to a better understanding of the other.
