A few weeks ago I posted a video called To This Day by Shane Koyczan, that discussed some of the major themes of bullying and the effect it can have on young kids throughout adulthood. I have used this video several times to discuss the ramifications of bullying and have found that it tends to leave my students speechless for several minutes afterward. Today I wanted to share another one of Shane Koyczan's speeches known as The Crickets Have Arthritis. I do not want to get into to much detail, because nothing I could possibly type would give it justice or even come close to the thoughts and feelings it produces.
Just remember five days from now your life will be the same and the little things that seem like mountains before you are actually just bumps in the road. We are too quick to complain about our lives and see only the things we do not have and do not appreciate the beauty that comes with simply pulling feathers out of pillows or appreciate the weird girl in our family until its too late.
