1, The Humour, Mindfulness, Resilience, Creativity Model; 2: The Bully Fighting: A Funny Business? (How) Can a Good Sense of Humour Be Used Against Bullying?

It is #AntiBullyingWeek . My model against bullying tries to build up an internal protection to stop bullying:
- If you feel good in your skin, no bullies can harm you.
- If you feel good in your skin, you won't go around bullying others. #Bullying

Evolution is doing everything on purpose. If it's good for us, it stays. If it's bad for us, or pointless, it goes. If bullying is all bad, why is it still around? Why did bullying survive millions of years if it's harmful? What do you think?

Putting someone else down has never helped us shine any brighter. There is no need to blow out someone else’s candle.
We all have room to shine.
