The author of the novel “The Scarecrow” died

Assertiveness is the ability to take responsibility for your behavior.

Poet and journalist Marina Alekseyeva has written a story from her school life. She talked about how she managed to avoid becoming a victim, how she turned the tide when she realized that the aggressor had a weak point, and she was also, after all, just a girl.

How do you accept what happened to you? How do you know that you're only going to church to run away from yourself and not answer questions that only you can answer. And how can you not leave it to a church or a religious group to solve your own problems?

Especially for mobbingu.net, Lena Corallo, a radio journalist from the UK, spoke about measures being taken to prevent bullying in English schools.

Why is it so important to be able to fight back against hamams and aggressors? People who were raised in families where children were ignored, devalued or suppressed have not developed protective skills to behave with their elders, and then with those who are superior to them. As children, they did not learn to set boundaries, as they obeyed parents who had no idea of the boundaries of a small person's personality. And it is likely that even in adulthood, such people will not be able to set these boundaries in relations with colleagues and superiors. If we don't finally learn how to protect ourselves from presumptuous boors, we won't be able to protect our children or teach them how to defend themselves.

Vladimir Karpovich Zheleznikov (1925-2015), a Russian and Soviet writer and playwright, has written many good books for children, including two of my favorite novels, The Weird of Five B. and The Scarecrow. But few people know that Vladimir Zheleznikov, long before he wrote the first novel in Russian children's literature, The Scarecrow (1983), which was entirely devoted to school bullying, created the script for the filmstrip I Am Redhead (1976).

Only the hero's actions, not the skin color of Christ and his mother, have made us think about our community with him for two millennia, sympathize with his torments, rejoice to receive the news of his Resurrection. I talked to the kids about this.
