A Guide | On Spreading Kindness :relaxed:

#stopbullyingSA

Hello there! Recently there has a been a tag to promote Anti-Bullying Month in October so I decided to in because it's for a good cause, so why not amirite

I don't really experience bullying personally, but I have friends who have been cyberbullied/bullied irl. But I do know that kindness is one of the biggest factors when it comes to prevention of bullying! The question is... how? (ps if this isn't related to the hashtag please let me know so i can remove it! :sweat_smile: :heart: )

how to: be kind

help people out

---

when your friend or classmate has a question you know the answer to, reply them. when you see someone struggling with homework, guide them through it. (if you know the content well) sometimes all someone needs is a helping hand :)

complimenting

---

notice someone rocking their outfit? tell them. appreciate someone's good quality? tell them. know that your friend is going to school despite their rough week? pat them on the back. sometimes voicing it out makes a huge difference because it can make their day and they will feel very appreciated and thankful :dizzy:

making people feel included

---

if you notice one of your classmates sitting alone during recess, ask them to your friend group, or yourself if you are alone too! keeping them company might put their mind off bigger things in their head and live more in the moment, so yes. don't shun people away just because they're weird or in a different academic pathway from you.

smiling

---

the simplest thing to do is just give a genuine smile to anyone you see. yes people might judge you or think you're smiling to someone else, but your intention to brighten up someone's day matters. people's happiness MATTERS. so make an effort to curve those lips for a teacher, a friend, a stranger- and you might receive one in return!

that's it from me, hope it was helpful to one if not some :seedling:
