BULLIES Go Home!

BULLIES go home. Yes they have taken their intimidation tactics to social and digital media, and in some cases, their treatment of others has been downright horrible.There is a name for this: Bullycide. It's not funny, it's sad.

If you are a parent---YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE. Studies show that youth who are bullied are five times more likely to be depressed and to report suicidal thoughts. LGBT children and those who are perceived to be gay, lesbian or challenge traditional gender roles are among those most likely to be targeted by bullies.

If you have any questions....watch this, then watch what your kids are doing online.
