Is YOUR child being bullied?

(The
only differences between a terrorist and a bully, is in the organized planning
or cause of the activity, and the scale of terror. A bullied child
will believe that there is no difference between a terrorist and a bully
given the above definitions.)
"...imagine these things
happening in our workplace. Imagine being harassed and humiliated day
in and day out. Imagine being shoved in the hallways or knocked in the
head--never knowing when the perpetrator will strike again. Imagine sitting
quietly, eating your lunch, and being knocked from your chair. Just imagine
that as your head hits the floor, you go in and out of consciousness, as
you feel blow after blow, to your head and face. Imagine being told that
if you ever defend yourself--you will be fired--but your attackers are
allowed back the next day or the next week--to do it all over again.
"Hard to imagine, isn't it?
How absurd to think that any business in the United States would operate
in that fashion and stay in business.
Yet, in the business of public
education, we are telling our children to expect it and accept it.
The reality is that others took Brandon's life long before he ended his
pain. Brandon was courageous. He fought a valiant battle, enduring all
these things--until he lost all hope.
Just imagine."
Cathy, Brandon's mom (www.jaredstory.com/brandon.html)
It is believed that depression
causes most teenage
suicides,
but this creates a new question - what causes the depression?
A person just doesn't wake up one morning with depression.
Psychologists believe that some people have a genetic tendency towards
depression, some develop depression
because of environmental triggers, and some people can have both genetic
and environmental triggers,
(See "Teen Depression and it's Causes"). Brandon, (and
Jared), developed depression from bullying
at school as well as an assault by a bully/bullies
in school. The new term being used to describe this type of teen
Suicide is, "bullycide," a suicide
caused from the effects of bullying.

HEAR JARED'S VOICE
- PLAY - From
an interview with Pasco School District investagators concerning the assault.
This is a recording of a recording and it isn't real clear, but worth the
download effort. Jared had a real mellow voice.
Note: If you have a slow load wav, wait for it to load entirely and then
play again from the start. 5 minutes long.
We are looking for real stories
about kids who have stepped in to help their peers when they have faced
bullying problems, and real stories from victims of bullying who tell how
their peer-hero or peer-heroes saved them from being bullied or protected
them from bullies.
If you have a hero story to tell, (simple or unspectacular
is okay), or know of anyone that would like to share their hero story,
and would like to be considered for publication in our book, please send
your story to us. We will send you a release and a free gift, "dUntOthers"
bracelets, as well as a copy of the book when it's done. If
your story is not chosen for the book, we may still use it on the Heroes

bracelets. (dUntOthers bracelets are in limited quantities, so
when we are out, we are out... Then, we will think of something else to
give.)
