Antibullying Month

October is antibullying month, I changed the background of my page to purple in support of this cause. 

Message/verbal spanking to the bullies: YOU need to take your ass to consulting!  You clearly have issues!  Why would you ruin someone else's self image because your lacking some kind of unhappiness in yourself?  Being kind to one another, it equals happiness. 

Facts about bullying:

77% percent of students have admitted to being the victim of one type of bullying or another.

According to recent gay bullying statistics, gay and lesbian teens are two to three times as more likely to commit teen suicide than other youths.

When bullying parents use this style of parenting, they try and motivate their children by being derisive. This can be especially damaging, since it can encourage a child to think ill of him/herself. This can leave mental scars that can result in depression.

As of now, no federal law directly addresses bullying.  However, in major cases, civil rights are violated.
