ENTER THE NO BULLY ZONE
March 24, 2011, Posted by admin at 2:34 pm
According to 2009 bullying statistics, over 75% of students are subject to harassment by a bully.
Over one half of bullying events go unreported.
2009 STATISTICS:
- Over 100,000 children carried guns to school as a result of being bullied.
- On a daily average 160,000 children miss school because they fear they will be bullied if they attend classes.
- Every half hour 19,000 bullied children attempt suicide over the course of one year.
MORE STATISTICS:
- According to the results of the first national survey on bullying, thirty percent (30%) of U.S. students in grades six through ten are involved in moderate or frequent bullying as bullies, as victims, or as both.
TIPS FOR A NO BULLY FREE ZONE:
- Never take on a bully yourself. Instead, tell the nearest teacher or other school administrator.
- Remember, bullying comes in many forms. Never judge a book by its cover.
- You know that saying “sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Well, words do hurt, and while physical wounds may heal, emotional scars may last forever. Think before you speak.

Looks great. kids did a great job. I especially love reagen’s expressions. I hope this will help to get the message out about the bullying.
Bullying that turns your life around 360 degrees. I wanted to comment on the more violent bullying that my 10 year old son encountered. I wish my son would of just went through the pain of the pushing and shoving that you portrayed in your videos. My son was kneeded in the groin so hard that he thought this schoolmate kicked him in the stomach. That Friday night in March in 2010 he puked his guts out for 3 days in a row. He only complained that his leg hurted and was walking bowlegged all weekend. On Monday I took him to the doctor and as I was waiting for the doctor I looked where my son said it was hurting on his leg and I almost fainted when I saw that his testicles were purplish black and they had grown 10 times their normal size. At this point the doctor walked in and he turned white. And said take him to the hospital NOW!!! I took him to emergency and they took xray, ultrasound and they gave him vicotin for pain for adults there is no vicotin for kids and he had bloodclots in his testicles.
I am so proud of all of the kids on the porch for doing such a great job in expressing there feelings on Bullying. This is a terrable thing that children get subjected to in there young life and i hope that this message will make a differance. Thank you Brick Steet Entertainment for getting the message out.
