Bullycide Victim, Tips, Countdown!

So many children and young adults have taken their own lives due to being a victim of bullying, and it is our responsibility to remember them as we fight against bullying.

Tip for parents: Involve your child in activities inside and outside school.

Tip for students: Try to make friends with others, and make lots of friends outside school. Find things you can do with them.

Tip for teachers: Involve class in service projects—creates unity.

Tip for teachers: Focus on third enemy (water pollution, animal cruelty, etc.)—creates unity.

Tip for students: Stand up for other students who are bullied, and ask them to stand up for you.

Tip for parents: Ask grandparents to maintain strong ties and communicate frequently with your child.

Tip for teachers: Investigate all rumors and unverified reports of bullying.

Tip for students: Being bullied can make you tired and make you feel sick. To deal with the bully you need to feel good. So, be sure to get plenty of exercise and eat healthy foods. Also, make sure you get plenty of sleep.

When in doubt, look anywhere for a leaning post. Use celebrities, leaders, and important figures in your life as examples; they made it through this, so can you. For example, Nicki Minaj states: "I went through a lot of bullying early on. Girls made my life a living hell. We had come to America from a different country. My brother and I had accents. It was very tough."

 

Negative thoughts and negative emotions need your attention and focus to stay alive. They cannot survive without your attention to them. If you ignore them and refuse to give them any attention, you are taking the life out of them and they will be eliminated.

 

A new study released at the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) National Conference and Exhibition shows that cyberbullying is rarely the only reason teens commit suicide. Most suicide cases also involve real-world bullying as well as depression. The study showed that 78 percent of adolescents who committed suicide were bullied online and offline. Only 17 percent were only bullied online.The stud...y of 41 suicide cases from the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia also showed 13 of the teens suffered from mood disorders and found depression symptoms in another six. Ages of the suicide cases studied ranged from 13 to 18.
Cyberbullying can include Facebook taunts, cruel text messages or the posting of embarrassing YouTube videos. The study author Dr. John C. LeBlanc said in a press release that "certain social media, by virtue of allowing anonymity, may encourage cyberbullying.

NOT a Part of Growing Up

Julian Goose, age 13
Committed suicide as a result of bullying.
January 12, 2005

"Julian always had problems in school. He was often bullied, and we would always address it to the school, but we often heard 'boys will be boys'.  Julian could of been considered a 'loner'.  He always said he had no friends and complained about getting bullied in school. We even put him in a private school at one time to try to make things better for him, but it never was. He ended up hating school, he never wanted to go. He was often labeled as 'weird' or 'different'. To me, he was a sensitive, beautiful, original child. He was very intelligent for his age, and we would have great conversations."

-Julian's older sister, Tara

This is a very sad story to me. Julian ended his own life at the age of 13 as a result of constantly being a victim of bullying at school. The adults, teachers, and administrators at Julian's school could have changed the outcome of this story to a happy one had they not merely dismissed it and actually attempted to understand what Julian was going through and the affect the bullying at school had on him. Many schools have programs to keep bullying to a minimum and to help those who were bullied. However, in Julian's as well as many other's cases that end in the same tragedy, the school dismissed bullying as a normal part of growing up and made it seem like no big deal. It happens, he'll get over it. 

Children DO NOT always get over bullying in the manner that others do. It has a different effect on some and adults need to learn to understand that and that it needs to stop. If we don't stop the bullying at a young age, this world we much worse off than it is now in a few years.

Please take a moment to think about the fact that children and young adults are ending their own lives everyday as a result of being bullied. You can help. Be kind and positive toward those around you.
With that said, I would also like to say, 
Rest in Peace, Julian!

I Want to Share My Cause with the World

Lately, I haven't been getting any new likes on my Facebook page or any feedback on anything. It really bothers me, because I feel like I'm not making an impact even though I'm really trying. I try to do a lot of different things so that the information and help I'm trying to post so that I keep people's attention and not bore them, but I'm not sure if it's working. I want more likes so that my cause can reach more people. I'm in the 170s with likes but I would really love to have a lot more! So, please, if you have the time, like the Stand Up to Bullies facebook page and share it with your friends! It would honestly mean a lot to me!
