Thank you to Maurine Molack of David’s Legacy Foundation who visited with Bailey students on Friday. In January 2016, after being a target of extensive and inescapable online harassment, her 16 year-old son, David, took his own life. In honor of their son, the Texas Legislature passed DAVID'S LAW, a bill to prevent and combat bullying.
-
Bullying is everywhere. David’s story is not an isolated incident.
-
Bullying does not have to involve a pattern of repeated behavior. “A single, significant act” might be sufficient to meet the definition of bullying.
-
Reach out for help! No one can cope with something like this alone.
-
Before posting anything, think: “Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind?”.
-
Be aware of your digital footprint. Employers, colleges, and the military may all look at what you’ve posted online and on social media.
