Khloe Kardashian Stands Up Against Bullies in Recent Blog Post
What did Khloe Kardashian Post in her Anti Bullying Blog?
According to a report in the Hollywood Gossip, Khloe Kardashian stated that while she was never bullied in high school, her weight made her the target of ridicule. The youngest Kardashian sister states that she could turn to her two older sisters for support. Her sisters would often show up at Khloe's high school to stand up to the youngest Kardashian sister's tormenters. Khloe Kardashian also credits her "thick skin" from protecting her from the cruel words from others.
Story Behind Phoebe Prince Suicide
According to news reports, fifteen-year-old, Phoebe Prince hanged herself on January, 14, 2010 in her home, two days before a high school dance. Investigators have charged nine of her fellow classmates with the bullying that is believed to have prompted her suicide. The story of the tragic and senseless death of this South Hadley teen further emphasizes that "bullying is NOT harmless".
As a woman, who was bullied on numerous occasions in high school, I say kudos to Khloe Kardashian and the many others who are speaking out against bullying. Bullying is anything but "harmless fun" and children as well as adults need to be educated on the harm that bullying can cause. Tragic stories like Phoebe Prince's should not go unnoticed.
