The Marion County Sheriff’s Department reminds everyone that October is Anti-Bullying Month. It’s a reminder to take a stand against bullying in any form. Parents, let’s have those crucial conversations with our kids about the impact of their words and actions.

Choosing kindness can make a world of difference. A simple smile, a greeting, or treating others as you wish to be treated can change someone’s day.

Let’s commit to being better in a world where hate often overshadows love. Do better. Set the example. Together, we can create a more compassionate online and offline community.
