story to save 1,000 more,” Ms Todd told the Vancouver Sun. “Amanda wanted to tell her story
to help other kids."I want to tell my story to help parents, so they can
be aware, so they can teach their kids what is right and wrong and how to be safe online.”
WHAT DO CHRISTIANS THINK?…
Read the paragraph in your lesson template and HIGHLIGHT
FOUR CLEAR POINTS that OUTLINE Christian attitudes to
bullying.
Christians, like all other people, teach that bullying is wrong. Christians believe
that people who are being bullied should be helped and protected.
Christians also believe that those who are bullies also need help to find out
why they bully and how to stop.Bullying causes all kinds of problems in
society, but more specifically to the individual. Christianity teaches that
bullying is wrong because it is discrimination and Jesus showed
discrimination is wrong. Bullying can harm people and Christians should not
harm others. They will be judged by God by the way they treat others.
