Plymouth Rock’s Bully-Buster Guide
(Lessons from the most famous rock in America)
1. “You’re boring!”
Rock Says:
“I might not run around, but I’ve got stories older than your great-great-great-grandparents!”
Bully-Buster Tip:
Tell them what makes you awesome, even if it’s not flashy. Quiet can be cool.
Lesson for Kids:
Being different doesn’t mean being less valuable. Your worth isn’t decided by someone else’s idea of “exciting.”
2. “You’re old and cracked!”
Rock Says:
“Every crack is proof I’ve survived storms. That makes me strong, not broken.”
Bully-Buster Tip:
Show pride in your scars and differences — they tell your story.
Lesson for Kids:
Flaws and scars can be signs of strength and resilience, not weakness.
3. “You can’t move!”
Rock Says:
“People come from all over the world to see me right here. I guess I’m the place to be!”
Bully-Buster Tip:
You don’t have to change yourself to be valued.
Lesson for Kids:
You can make an impact without changing who you are or where you are.
4. “You’re tiny!”
Rock Says:
“I may be small, but my history is huge.”
Bully-Buster Tip:
Big or small, you matter.
Lesson for Kids:
Never let your size, age, or appearance make you feel less important.
5. “You’re just a myth!”
Rock Says:
“Maybe — but I’ve inspired songs, stories, and smiles for hundreds of years.”
Bully-Buster Tip:
If people doubt you, keep shining anyway.
Lesson for Kids:
Even if others doubt your story, what matters is the positive impact you make.
6. “Anyone could replace you!”
Rock Says:
“Nope — there’s only one me in the whole world.”
Bully-Buster Tip:
Remember, there’s only one you. That’s your superpower.
Lesson for Kids:
No one can replace you because no one else is exactly like you.
7. “You need that fence to be important!”
Rock Says:
“The fence is just decoration — the story’s inside me.”
Bully-Buster Tip:
Your value comes from who you are, not what’s around you.
Lesson for Kids:
Your value isn’t in the things around you — it’s in who you are.
8. “You’re overrated!”
Rock Says:
“If I’m overrated, I’m still rated… for over 400 years!”
Bully-Buster Tip:
A mean opinion can’t erase your achievements.
Lesson for Kids:
Criticism doesn’t erase your accomplishments — or your ability to keep going.
9. “You don’t do anything!”
Rock Says:
“Doing nothing still inspires millions — that’s something.”
Bully-Buster Tip:
You don’t have to be loud or busy to make a difference.
Lesson for Kids:
You don’t have to be loud or flashy to have an impact.
10. “You’re just taking up space!”
Rock Says:
“I fill my space with meaning, pride, and history.”
Bully-Buster Tip:
Your presence has value — always.
Lesson for Kids:
Everyone’s presence has value — even if others don’t see it right away.
💡 Rock’s Golden Rule for Kids:
When someone tries to knock you down, stand firm, stay kind, and remember your worth — just like Plymouth Rock.
