The Little Flower
This is the story of one little flower,
The flower that couldn’t match others in beauty.
When the young bud wanted to play with the other flowers
They would laugh at the bud and say
No way will we let a flower as dull as you play
One flower exclaimed,
the others laughed with it just the same,
The little flower ran away so no one would see the tears forming,
The sun noticed the little flower and came down to cheer her up.
What’s the matter little flower?
asked the sun
The little flower looked up to see the sun
her eyes glistening with tears
"No one wants to play with me
even though I try so hard to impress them,
they just let me be!" it exclaimed.
The sun looked at the flower with kind soft eyes and said "It’s ok little one,
I bet one day they’ll all like you and you’ll be
the most beautiful of beautiful flower,
just you watch and wait for the hour"
The little flower smiled at the sun’s encouraging words
They had helped her be strong and never gave in to the world.
A couple years have passed since that day.
There was a beautiful flower Standing tall and bright.
The most beautifullest flower you’ve ever seen.
That flower was none other than, The Little Flower....

Acknowledgement
If it wasn’t for the support of my father, Mr. Alexander R. Chhin, I would never have been able to write this book, complete it and get it published. Thank you dad, for always supporting me in everything that I do, and for being the one who went through the hassle of getting this book published! I will always be truly grateful to you.
My mom, Mrs. Julie S. Taing, is the second person I would like to acknowledge who played a big role in the publication of this book. Without her love and undying support, I could never have come this far. Thank you mom, I love you.
I would also like to thank other members of my family, Aunt Cheng, Aunt Sokheng, Cousin Mengkong, Cousin Kimlong, Cousin Kimchai and Grandma. Their encouragement and comfort is what helped me understand that everything is possible when you have your loved ones with you. You guys are the best family ever! I want to tell you how much your love means to me and how I am eternally grateful to all of you!
Like hundreds of others out there, I also understand what a big problem bullying is, which is why part of the proceeds of the book will go to awareness programs working tirelessly to educate people about how bullying shatters the life of the victims.
Thank you all, and God bless!
What You Will Find in this Book
This collection of short stories is perfect to read to your children to help spread awareness about bullying. Bullying is a growing problem in the world which has long lasting effects for those who are the victims of bullying. Bullying does not necessarily mean physically harming someone, but derogatory remarks and social isolation (as shown in the story of The Little Flower) are also forms of bullying.
This e-book contains a number of short stories that all contain moral lessons for children to stop bullying and aptly deal with it. Today, bullying is considered a form of offence with over 2 million victims in the United States alone. It has grown more than 50 percent in the recent past. It is the duty of schools, teachers and most importantly parents to help children identify bullying and objectively deal with it.
What is Bullying?
Bullying can be of many types. It is any form of behavior that is aimed at making fun of someone or physically or emotionally harming someone. An act of bullying usually consists of two individuals or groups; one is the victim and the other is the bully. Any form of aggressive verbal, social or physical behavior that is usually repeated and is targeted at a certain individual or group is called bullying.
The objective of bullying is to hurt the victim either with teasing, snide comments, practical jokes or even physical harm. Usual victims of bullying include individuals who are physically weaker, introverts, belong to specific racial, religious or ethnic groups, are physically challenged and/or do not socialize much. Bullies are usually those who are either physically stronger or are very sociable.
How Damaging It Can Be
Bullying can be damaging for everyone involved. Victims, bullies and even bystanders are impacted by bullying. Victims and bystanders can suffer from depravation and depression that can lead to emotional problems and isolation. A study by the University of Padua’s Social Psychology Department analyzed research conducted on over 200,000 children and adolescents. It shows that individuals who are bullied are more likely to suffer physical problems like eating disorders, bedwetting, stomachaches, headaches and sleep problems.
However, when students claim that they are suffering from stomachaches and/or headaches, parents and teachers often see it as making excuses to miss school. That’s not always the case. It is very important to teach children about bullying, to help stop immediately.
The earlier the problem is identified and detected, the easier it will be to control it. These inspiration stories will help you not only spread awareness about bullying, but also on how to stop children from becoming bullies and being bullied. Parents and teachers can read the stories to children under the age of eight.
Inspirational Stories for Children
The stories in this book have been divided according to different age or groups. These stories are not just lessons that are important for children to learn. They are also sources of inspiration, which will help them get over the fear of bullying.
It is very important to understand that those who bully or those who get bullied are going through or have gone through a tough
