In memory of Alex, who I never knew in person but who has come to me through the voices of those who love her, I will write a letter to a high school principal where I am personally aware that bullying is occurring. I am in touch with one of the students who is staying home from school from the fear of mistreatment. I will ask the principal to consider having a kindness day/week at his high school where there might be a public showing of gestures the students offer one another. I am going to propose that he emphasize kindness towards those the students know are often targets of scapegoating.
