Today's students are at risk, and that risk grows more and more everyday as the popularity of the Internet increases. Today our youths are exposed to so much more than we were years ago. And years ago, when a kid or teen threatened to kill someone they didn't mean it. Today students have access to guns and the threat to kill someone is no longer idle.The issues of bullying and cyberbullying have increased to alarming proportions. As a form of violence against children of all ages, these issues have caused a crisis. Some victims are so tormented that suicide has become an alternative for them. It has everyone worried. Not just the kids and teens on its receiving end, but the parents, teachers and others who may not understand how extreme bullying can get.
STOMP Out Bullying™ works aggressively to prevent these issues and to help those affected by it.Adults must empower the victims and help change the behavior of the bullies. Schools must react swiftly and redirect negative behaviors into positive and productive solutions.Bystanders who witness the assaults, harassment and threats must not remain silent. They must stand up for victims.Parents must teach their kids and teens kindness, compassion and respect and schools must do the same. Our kids and teens need to know they are valued and protected.
Love Our Children created STOMP Out Bullying™ to put an end to this crisis, to keep children of all ages safe and to create bullying prevention education and peer mentoring in schools.Please join us in our efforts to educate and advocate and most of all to STOMPOut Bullying™!STOMP Out Bullying™ is proud to serve as a partner of "America's Promise Alliance" founded by General Colin Powell, an advisory member to the "Be A Star Alliance" and to be called upon by the media as a leading expert in Bullying and Cyberbullying prevention.
