Just in case you weren't aware -- we do bully prevention training.
We have done hundreds of hours of free training at schools, and for groups, and with our own students, as well as 1:1 work with kids and youth who are being bullied, or have been bullies themselves. Most of all though we spend time teaching kids, the majority of whom, will be and are bystanders as the bully cycle plays out in front of them. We teach them how to stand up, take action, and as we teach the kids "don't just stand there; do something".
Below is the latest story posted to our BullyingSucks.com website -- please show your support by becoming a member on that site -- contributing if you would like, and getting the word out that Bullying is intolerance, and that we all won't stand by while it happens.
