Fort Worth ISD fourth grader, Deisy, says she was in first
grade the first time she was bullied.
She was not sure how to handle the situation, but she knew that bullying is something she never wants anyone else to experience. To get her message across, Deisy entered the “Imagine
No Violence Art Competition” sponsored by the Safe City Commission in collaboration with the Fort Worth Independent School District. Deisy is 1 of about 20,000
students who participate in this contest annually.
The poster Deisy created shows a young person who was
getting bullied at school and later reported it to a parent. Deisy says it is important for those who are
getting bullied to report the problem to a principal, teacher or an adult as
soon as possible. “It will help you”,
she explains.
Girls Inc. would like to wish Deisy the best of luck in this
art competition. We are proud of you for
speaking out about this very important issue.
You are a strong, smart and bold young lady!

I think that it is great that Deisy is aware of this issue at such a young age. It is a real problem that causes a lot of stress in the lives of our youth. Speaking up and speaking out are great ways to get the support that we need to make it stop. Good job Deisy!
