Prayers for kids/teachers returning to school

COT: My 9 year old’s best friends older sister who is in 7th grade has been dealing with some anxiety and issues over the last several months. The day before school started a group of 6 girls sent her 270 text messages telling her why they didn’t like her and didn’t want to be friends with her anymore. Needless to say this was crushing for the girl and her family to deal with. She had already been in therapy and was doing better dealing with her anxiety and the family was dealt this new blow that they had to sort out with the school/counselors/etc..

Kids have a hard enough times these days with some of the things they are exposed to as they become less innocent and as parent you feel like you can only do so much to protect them. All children are different, unique, and searching for their independence/right path. No kid should have to deal with the type of hate/situation that this 7th grader had to deal with. Continue to teach your kids to be kind, do the right thing, stand up for what is right, and align themselves with other children with similar values. We can do our part as parents to make sure our children are never in the group that is sending those terrible messages and continue to pray that other parents are doing the same.

Aye!
