It happened to my child, he was blackmailed by his classmate. She threaten to tell the teacher about cheating, but my son told me and we went to headmaster. The girl was expended.
So the point is that children should ask for help from their parents or elder brothers.

Wow, all of these comments are incredible. Being one of the founders of Kind Campaign, I cannot thank SMARTY enough for posting about us, but also for each one of the women who has commented. You have nearly brought me to tears because of all of the positive energy and KINDness that is occurring throughout these comments. I agree with everything each one of you said, and it brings me such hope to see these kind words being exchanged between women. Because like Megan said, what happens to us when we are young women definitely affects the way that we treat ourselves and other women in our adult life. Thank you for taking the KIND pledge, and changing the way females treat one another… we are lucky to be a part of SMARTY where we can see first hand what an incredible environment KINDness creates.

Being kind can take on so many different forms. For a young girl, it can mean sharing a toy or lunch. For a teenager, it can be befriending the new kid in school or standing up for the timid kid everyone pokes fun of. As a woman, kindness means something different to me. It means letting other women stand (or cry) on my shoulders; it means helping other women in need and sharing my resources; it means refraining from judgment; it means respecting other women (their physical appearances, their marriages, their children and their career choices). It means taking the high road when someone does me wrong and offering forgiveness when they seek it.

I am so grateful that the women of the Kind Campaign have brought this issue to light. No one of us is perfect when it comes to kindness, but if we don’t each take personal responsibility for stopping the problem, the issues that plagued us as young girls will continue to torment us as women. We all deserve better. So we all can do more.

I silently made the Kind pledge in 7th grade as girls I believed to be my friends turned into a vicious pack. I knew then I would never cause another girl that kind of agony… I am still saddened at the cruelty of girls on a mission to harm one another. We are sisters, we must support one another, from the weakest on out…

I love the KIND campaign! I too got a lot of grief, both as a child and even as a grown woman. When I walked into my first SMARTY event, I felt like I’d finally found my tribe. We’re all about being supportive of one another – and it’s so great that Lauren & Molly of the KIND campaign are now part of our organization. Together let’s all start spreading the word about how vital it is that woman be supportive of one another!

All the very best to every single one of you -
