Did you see Jamie Lee Curtis' speech at the Emmy's?
In Jamie Lee Curtis's most recent Emmy speech after winning Outstanding Guest Actress for the show "The Bear" she says "You know there is this saying hurt people, hurt people but I also think that you can add to that helped people, help people."
We've been talking a ton about why bullying occurs and I heard that saying time and time again in that context. Hurt kids, hurt other kids and I believe that to be true. However, when I heard the second half of what Jamie Lee said I was shaking my head. She's right. We as a community need to come together to help each other especially the youth of our nation. Their mental health has never been worse, they are killing themselves at rapid rates, depression/anxiety is the highest it's ever been, and people are lonely. We have to put systems, programs, and people in place to help the hurt, so they become the sunbeams, the change makers. Helped people do help people. Volunteering, being nice, caring for others, civility- yes that's good for society but man, is it good for ourselves! Have you ever heard that statement before? What do you make of it?
