Hazing, Bullying, CyberBully, Girl Bullies, Cliques....

Its hard sending your child out the door to school when you know they're getting bullied, but what parents dont realize is they're not safe in thier own homes either, with the latest trend called "cyber bullying". This can be done through text message, email, and social networking sites like facebook or twitter, and its only getting worse as technology is getting more advance. More then 51 perecent of ten year olds have phones making the bullying even worse for younger kids who dont properly use their cell phones. Bullying and hazing of any kind can lead to a life of hurt and heartache. With kids walkign away with symptoms such as: life long anxiety, lonlines and insecurities that may never get fixed... bullying is a place where even your best friend can become your enemy, they all start in, when one child starts in its all down hill from there.  When in reality all that can change... with just one person. All it takes is one person to stand up and say stop. One child to protect the life of another, acting as a soldier sacrificng themselves to war.  We as educators need to teach our children to become warriors against bullying. making kids more aware of the power they have could change the lives of millions, or at least the 4,000 that commit suicide every year... By making children aware of the problem we are preventing it. Its also important letting our kids know that being a bistander is just as bad as being a bullying. We need to interven, we need to eduate our children, and we need to do it early and often. There is power in numbers and with the numbers we have in this world today bullying should have no problem becomming non-exhistant. How great would it be to have a world full of orange!!!! Orange being the color of anti -bullying and anti- hazing once a month having our kids in orange doing and antihazing activty or role playing to protect our kids and teach kids how to handel situation when they get into them.
