FREE BULLY PROTECTION WORKSHOP

As seen on Oprah, bullying has once again received national attention with the recent suicide of 2 young boys.

In April 2009, two 11 year-olds hung themselves after reportedly being teased and called vicious names.

Master Scott, Director/CEO of Full Circle Martial Arts Academy, has been on an unstoppable mission to help curb bullying in Prince George’s County for the last 17 years!

“The children talk to us. They tell us about their biggest fears and their experiences with bullies”, said Master Scott. This insight is our greatest weapon in dealing with this “life-altering problem”.

communication is key
 

“When I listen to some of the kids talk about their terrible experiences, I literally have to hold back my tears”, said Master Scott.

Now with cyber bullying fast becoming the new method of harassment, millions of children are now being affected by this crippling problem. This method uses the internet to reach into your home and harass, tease or threaten your child, right under your nose. It commonly occurs in instant messaging and chat rooms. This is why we tell parents that they have to monitor their child’s activity on the internet.

LOOK AT THESE STARTLING FACTS AND STATISTICS:
  • 160,000 students miss one day of school each year because of bullying.Conviction by age 24
  • 60% of those characterized as bullies in grades 6 thru 9 had at least one criminal
  • Chronic bullies seem to maintain their behavior in adulthood, which greatly impacts their ability to develop or maintain positive relationships.
  • Children and teens that come from homes where parents provide little emotional support, fail to monitor their activities or have little involvement in their lives, have a greater risk for engaging in bully behavior.
  • One study set-up a video camera in a Toronto schoolyard. Within 52 hours, there were 400 episodes of bullying. One incident lasted 37 minutes, while students kicked and punched another helpless young student.

DON’T LET A BULLY RUIN YOUR CHILD’S FUTURE!

Bullying can cause your child, who is a victim of bullying, to feel tense, anxious and afraid. It affects their ability to focus in school and will cause them to skip school. Ongoing incidents of bullying can affect your child’s self-esteem and feeling of self-worth. They will become withdrawn, depressed and insecure, leading into a state of isolation. This is when they become a candidate for suicide!
