February 9th is National Stop Bullying Day.
Here at the Indiana Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy it is very important to us to do all we can to stop bullying.
Bullying is a horrible trend that is for some reason sweeping the nation. Unfortunately old fashion face to face bullying isn’t the only thing that we have to worry about. With the advent of Cyber-Bullying, kids don’t even have to look their victims in the eyes when they are bullying them.
Stop Bullying by Building Self Confidence
That’s why it’s more important than ever that we teach kids self confidence. It’s the key to stop bullying. For one, because it’s usually the reason a bully becomes a bully to begin with. It’s a sad truth that most bullies are lacking self confidence and that’s why they pick on others, to make themselves feel better. And if the kid on the receiving end of the bullying lacks self confidence as well… the detrimental effects can be irreversible.
You used to be able to tell your kids to toughen up, or stand up for themselves and that would be enough, but that’s not enough anymore. Now that we know the long-term damage that can be caused from bullying, we desperately need to provide a better solution.
That’s why we have decided to do a FREE Stop Bullying Seminar.
It’s time to teach kids ways to walk away with their confidence intact. It’s our goal to fill this seminar with as many kids as possible and then have another and another. We want to do all we can to stop bullying.
You not only need to bring your child(ren) to this event, you need to tell everyone you know about it. Honestly, you never know when something like this might save a kids life. Let’s do what we can to ensure that another child is not lost to bullying.
