National Bully Prevention Month
Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - 01:21
Thank you for visiting our website. October is National Bullying Prevention month! Please join us and make the decision to stop a bully. Stop being a bystander, and speak up! Tell someone, tell anyone! Individually, we are weak, but united we stand. We are firm, strong, and can change lives!
We hope that you will find our information a valuable resource. Feel free to drop Jaylen or the team an email and let us know what's going on in your school or community.
Remember: If you or someone you know is contemplating bullycide (suicide due to being bullied) or hurting themselves, please call and speak to someone. People are on standby 24 hours a day to take your call. Please call 1-800-273-TALK (8255).
As you can see from the video below...this is a very real problem. Don't sit back and allow this to happen.
The text that accompanies the video reads:
"I'm struggling to stay in this world, because everything just touches me so deeply. I'm not doing this for attention. I'm doing this to be an inspiration and to show that I can be strong. I did things to myself to make pain go away, because I'd rather hurt myself then someone else. Haters are haters but please don't hate, although im sure I'll get them. I hope I can show you guys that everyone has a story, and everyones future will be bright one day, you just gotta pull through. I'm still here aren't I ?"
