If you have been on social media today, you would have seen the video of Quaden from Australia. This nine-year old was crying incessantly, telling his mother he wanted to die, because of all the bullying in school.
To my students: remember never to bully your classmates because they are different. Your peer may be taller, shorter, more effeminate or simply have some pimples but that doesn’t justify any cruel treatment.
When we bully someone who is different, it says more about ourselves than about the person we are bullying. It simply shows how insecure we are and what a wimp we are. I can think of no other reasons.

Dear Quaden,
I am sorry this has to happen to you.
I see that CEO of Singapore-based ONE Championship and Evolve MMA gym, Chatri Sityodtong has offered you a ticket to Singapore.
If you are in Singapore, please ping us too. We will gather a group of our most fun-loving students to attend classes with you if you like.
If not, my students and I will love to hang out with you for a day, maybe at Univeral Studios Singapore or just eat the most delicious durians. Whatever you want, for a day. Have lots of fun in peace, knowing we will never call you names or treat you badly.
Welcoming you to Singapore in advance.
Till then, stay strong. The whole world is rooting for you.
Love,
Wallace, Wei and
all the teachers, students and parents from Study Room #teamquaden #quadenbayles #dwarfismawareness from Study Room https://ift.tt/38LYbPm
