A seven-year-old boy in Beaumont, CA is employing a bit of positive peer pressure to help his classmates understand the damaging effects of adolescent bullying.
Cameron Thompson, a second-grader at Tournament Hills Elementary school, recently found himself in hot water after making fun of another boy for bringing a Barbie doll to school for show-and-tell. I didnt really mean to tease him so much that I made him cry, Cameron told Today.
His punishment was to write an apology letter to his classmate, but according to his mother, Camerons guilt didnt fade over the following weeks. He came to me a couple of weeks later and he said, I still feel really bad about what I did to him, Camerons mother Jessica Southard recalls. He said, How do I get that feeling to go away?
To help others learn from his mistakes, Cameron and his mother joined forces with the boy Cameron bullied to form an anti-bully club, which drew a whopping 76 kids in to its first meeting, far exceeding the schools expectations. Since I was sad, I thought I could make it up to him and he could feel better and I could feel better too, Cameron said.
