The moment when a kid's stooped posture is seen, he falls to an easy prey of bullying. Walking changes your life. Whether in a fish tank or a classroom.
Right at the moment the kid is called out related with his confused identity or self-image, he forgets to breathe in front of other bullying kids. He becomes panic and all he hears is his heart pumping. Because he forgets to breathe, his mind is gone somewhere already.
In a worse scenario, he is running away to a bridge out of breath. His heart & brain need more oxygen but he can't think better only because he forgets to breathe. Not enough air for his brain to wake up his mind and calm down. Because his brain couldn't get enough oxygen, he couldn't save himself at the very last moment.
What if the kid stood tall in front of all and walked right with his spine uplifted with confidence?
But it always starts from eating. The boy was saving money for 3 days to buy a music CD by skipping lunches. He didn't eat. So he had not enough energy for his body & brain. So the way he walked made him look like an easier prey to other bullying kids.
And among them, there is always someone who comes from same issue - The bullying kid doesn't breathe, walk or eat properly. It makes a kid vicious, in the repetition of hunger and hormone fluctuations mainly due to wrong diet. The responsibility falls to parents' shoulder. So he doesn't know what he is doing to the other kid and what result can be brought about, either.
Then what could have been the answer?
Teach kids to breath, walk & eat!
A kid that breathes, walks & eats AS IS doesn't bully others. All the misfortune comes from forgetting what we are - Breathe, walk & eat.
