As a kid I was bullied on the school bus, and got into a fight. As a result I have been  an advocate for anti-bulling ever since. As a biology teacher it is important to teach people that  many differences are from genetics and through no fault of our own. Even  the color of our skin, is not only a reflection of what part of the world we live in, but how often, we are in front of the sun, along with genetic factors. Teach tolerance through understanding. When It comes down to you, we were all created the same way, and any differences that occur beyond that, are due to genetic factors and environmental influences. However the key phrase is: WE WERE ALL MADE THE SAME WAY.   My Creed: Understanding comes with knowledge and with knowledge you realize in the end of the day we are all homo sapiens.
