Here are some links on bullying and how to prevent, escape or who to tell if your kid is being bullied. What is bullying? See the photostory below to see the sad statistics.
This photostory will be used to show real statistics of bulling across the nation. Students and teachers both, do not understand the severity of bullying on campus as well as off. Students as young as kindergarten are bullied that leaves the students not feeling safe, or excited about school. This effects their homework, their home life as well as their behavior on and off campus.
Many schools have bully awareness assemblies where they bring in a clown or a magician and have them speak about bullying. I do not find this effective. We don’t bring in a clown to discuss sexual orientation or what they call ‘health, neither should bullying.
This short clip gives national statistics of how much bullying effects students, friends and their families. This behavior happens everyday, everywhere, all the time. No one is exempt from bullying. Either someone is the bully, being bullied or has witnessed a bullying act. This photostory can be shown to a intermediate age group since there are percentages and requires a higher tempo of reading rate. This can also be given to teachers to show them the statistics of what bullying can cause. Some teachers don’t think bullying behavior is as great of a problem as others. I hope to change that opinion. No one should be bullied, and no one should get away with bullying. Here is a link for a great deal of tips for bullying. It's great for kids, and for adults. Spreading awareness spreads the chance that someone will not be bullied again. Let's make it like wildfire and spread the word!
