With school about to start, I just thought this website would be interesting if you have kids, or teach kids, or work with kids. Or just, love kids.
Just an FYI.
Ross Ellis, Love Our Children USA Founder and Chief Executive Officer remembers only too well what it is like to be bullied. Today it’s a regular occurrence in schools starting as early as kindergarten. And many kids have committed suicide because the taunting was so torturous.
Bullying can be so painful and clearly has played a role in recent school shootings across the country. While boys are more physical, girls use weapons, exclusion, slander, rumors and gossip.
And beware of cyberbullying which is on the rise. This social online cruelty is used in the forms of e-mail, cell phone; pager text messages, instant messaging, defamatory personal Web sites, and defamatory online personal polling Web sites, deliberate, repeated, and hostile behavior, and is used by an individual or group -- intended to harm others – especially amongst our youth.
While most kids use the Internet for friendly interactions, more and more kids are using these communication tools to antagonize, terrorize and intimidate others.
Ellis said “parents must keep open communication with their children. Look for signs. And school administrators can no longer sweep bullying under the rug. Students should be educated about the harmful effects of bullying. Every school should declare No Bullying Begins Today.”
Actually, some adults exhibit these same behaviors. Interesting.
