Today I would like to introduce you to Vincent Legacy. It is
an amazing group established in honor of Vincent Pucket a young boy who took
his own life after bullying led to mental illness. I ask that you read the
article and take some of your precious time to create your own rocks and hide
them among your community. If you like share how this article made you feel.
My personal Feelings after reading the story.
I know my post today had little to do with writing, but if
you stop and think after reading this article you will see how it can relate to
every aspect of life for children. If you really stop and think you can see how
that this event should effect everyone of us, adult and children. We have all
been children and most likely suffered some kind of bullying. It could have
been because we were different in some aspect, or we said something that
someone else did not agree with, or that we simply enjoyed something that no
one else understood, or no one truly took time to understand who we were. Whatever
the case was, we have all experienced bullying at some point in our life, even
in our adult years. It does not fade just because we grow up. Bullying molds us
as we grow. It can either strength us, or it can open us to bullying as we become
adults. No matter the case, this loss of a child has led to some amazing steps
among the school systems around my hometown area and I wanted to share it with
others and hope that more and more people will pick up on the amazing work that
Vincent Legacy is doing.
After reading this I challenge you to find some rocks, paint
them with inspiring messages and then hide them among your community for others
to find. If you want a bigger challenge, reach out to your school systems and
ask if you can create a rock garden for their school. This might not seem like
a major thing, but if one child picks up a rock with an inspiring message it
could change their entire life. We never know what one small word of kindness can
achieve.
