Bully Ban!

Well this week most of you know that my 11 year old asked me to watch the "Stop bullying speak up" program on cartoon network and was really inspired to want to spread the word about bullying. So, he came up with the idea, after watching his dad make survival bracelets, that he would like to pick some colors and make the "Bully Ban" bracelet and send with a no bully contract to those interested! I was super proud that my child would want to help spread that word. Kids today can be so cruel and I pray all the time that mine have sympathy and empathy to others around us. I am so proud that he has that kind of heart. So, we created this bracelet in hopes that others would be interested in them, they will be mailed with a contract that will be signed with their parents to notarize that they will not, nor will they be involved in any mistreatment or bullying at all. If they witness it they will speak up. Our hope is that those who want one will sincerely take the contract to heart and wear the bracelet proudly! What a great and fashionable way to spread the word about NO bullying?!

    This is an awesome idea - I would like to know how to start this in our school.

    We personally are doing this since our oldest showed interest in spreading the word against bullying, ironically we are homeschoolers, you could email me and we could talk more. shllby1@gmail.com

    How do I order more than 1? Do I have to do 2 separate orders?

    You are fortunate to have such a conscientious son. His idea will certainly catch on and spread like wildfire. More kids than not hate bullying when they see it or are the victims of it themselves, but while a pledge and bracelets themselves may help to create a strong social network to combat this scourge, I wonder if it might not be helpful to disseminate some tips on how to overcome some of the psychological barriers like fear that children face when considering whether to call out a bully for his/her behavior.

    Thanks so much for your comment. Kids definitely need to be taught certain ways to overcome their anger and not put it on others by bullying, most kids who are bullies have issues with being mistreated themselves. Very sad cycle.
