17. Einstein Needs More Heroes!
WE PLEDGE…
I will not be a bystander.
I will not look away and pretend it’s not happening.
I will speak up when I see someone being bullied.
I will encourage others to speak up too.
We will make the bully the outsider and invite them to change.
If it is something I cannot handle on my own, I will tell someone.
I will get help if I need it because I know I’m not alone.
Bullying may start with someone else,
BUT IT STOPS WITH ME! I
