On Wednesday, June 16, sixth grader, Kailuh Menefee, will deliver a powerful message to her fellow students: Stop Bullying! She will deliver this message as part of an after-school assembly that she has been planning for the past few months.
Earlier this year, Kailuh was assigned the task of writing an essay about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s message and how it could affect the decisions she makes in her life. As part of her essay, Kailuh wrote, “In the fifth grade I’d look out the window of my dark room and see myself in a town of vacant buildings. I was in pain. I thought people wouldn’t like me for myself. To mask the hurt I went around ridiculing people and telling them they were ugly. Now, I realize because of the bullying I’ve done I was on my own.”
