No to Bullycide!

Halo There Folks,

"Mom says Springfield boy, 11, who committed suicide

was repeatedly bullied at school."

"Nine Charged in Bullying of Massachusetts Teen Who Killed Herself"

"11-Year-Old Hangs Himself after Enduring Daily Anti-Gay Bullying"

"After a long period of bullying at school Jared B High took his life at home aged 13 years "

" Joseph Daniel Scruggs hung himself in his bedroom closet without leaving a suicide note. He was 12 years old."

 "13-year-old Ryan Patrick Halligan commits suicide after being bullied at school"

BULLYCIDE- suicide caused as the result of depression from bullying, especially children

These headlines are aweful, but guess what they are all true. Just last week bullycide made head lines again. 

We as parents, as students, as friends as co-workers, we need to do something. We need to take a stand.  We have to. Our kids are at stake. This is not a style that will go away.

Speaking of experience. Being a victim of being bullied when I was young. I take this to heart. This is something we have to take seriously.  It is not OK for our kids to kill them selves because of how awful they are being treated on a daily basis.  Yes I grew up and dealt with it. These are different times. Things are not getting any better.

Bullying hurts on both sides. The victim and the aggressor.  We need to think where is it coming from, and why?

I'm a single mother and this is one thing I can't accept.  I take this seriously.  As should you. There is help out there for the victims and the parents.
Parents if you know you child is doing the damage please act upon it before it's too late.  Before action is taken upon them.

You can take action in your community by going to your child's school and speaking to the Principle yourself.  Put some rules to action.  Petition these rules until your voice is heard.  Until this is law in your state.

Don't be one of many parents who's child make headlines due to bullycide.  There is help out there. Take the time out to help out, to research, to take action.

Your child's life depends on this.

Bullying hurts.  It is painful, degrading, hurtful, humiliating, depressing.  And as you saw the headlines it is affecting younger and younger kids. No this is not a joke some folks may brush this off and say oh well they will get over it.  No they will not.  This damaging.
