I rarely post anything but tonight i feel like I need to. I just attended the presentation at the High School about Ryans Story. I first want to thank the school for doing this for our children today and for parents tonight. It was extremely powerful and informative on so many levels. Unfortunately it was a small turnout but I cannot tell you how informative it was regarding our young people today and social media and the internet in general. I consider myself fairly up on the times and whats out there but I found out tonight I am not. There are apps, social media that this generation is using that I have not even heard of. I learned a great deal about it and how I can be a better parent to my 3 children. It was an amazing presentation. If you are not familiar with Ryans story there is a website you can access. Even if your child has never been bullied or a bully you can teach your child how not to be a bystander and why that is so important. I actually debated whether to go tonight as there were 50 million things going on today but when my 17 year old son who is a senior text me today and said Mom go tonight to the presentation for the parents. it was so powerful and excellent. I knew I had to. Thanks to the school for having this presentation, it definitely had an impact. Makes me that much more thankful for my 3 kids during this Thanksgiving, thankful for the school they go to, the friends they have and the community. Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
