Bullying, A Very Serious Problem

Kids Are Being Bullied And It’s Effects Can Be Devastating.

Bullying Is Different From When We Were Kids.

It’s happening a lot more at school, but often kids can’t escape the torment because of the online world that now follows them everywhere.

Unfortunately an alarming number of kids have their confidence destroyed causing severe emotional distress and in far too many cases it can be deadly.

According to bullyingstatistics.org the numbers are significant… but if it were only ONE, it would be one too many that was suffering.

“The statistics on bullying and suicide are alarming: Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people, resulting in about 4,400 deaths per year according to the CDC.

For every suicide among young people, there are at least 100 suicide attempts.”

Bullying, Kids, and Schools

The schools can’t be held responsible for the majority of bullying problems.

There are just too many kids… but we can empower the kids.

I wonder how the parents will deal with the loss of their son.

It must be so incredibly difficult for them.

I can’t imagine losing my daughter and especially to suicide.

Every day, for the rest of their lives, the parents will question what they could’ve done differently.

Teddy Molina of Texas was a young bullied boy that took his own life in 2012.

The parents knew there was a problem with Teddy, but I’m sure that they had no idea of how bad it really was for him.

Not too long ago, one of the young teenagers in the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class was attacked by 2 larger ‘boys,’ although one was apparently already out of high school.

Fortunately, he was able to fight off the attackers using his conditioning and jiu jitsu that he has developed training with us.

This is a serious problem.

Kids are bullied on a daily basis, often scarring the child for life and making them question their own self worth.

Other times, as seen with Teddy (one example of so many), the child can’t take it any more and ends their own life rather than have to continue to face their antagonists.

I’ve talked about other examples in the past of kids like Teddy that had the possibility of accomplishing so much in life, but now will not.

If you know of any child being bullied, maybe its your own, a friend’s or co-worker’s child, then please let me know.

The kids can develop confidence and feel empowered knowing that they have the ability to take care of themselves.

It doesn’t have to be so hard on them and we don’t need to lose even one more child.

TEXARKANA BULLYSTOP PROGRAM – Helping Kids Develop Personal Power, Self Confidence, And A Winning Mental Attitude

This is a one day program that takes place during a normal physical education class through our martial arts gym teacher for the day BULLYSTOP Program!

Our safe, free program teaches practical ways to handle bullying without having to resort to violence, as well as, practical mental and character development skills that can and WILL help your child increase their confidence, improve their discipline, teach them to avoid peer pressure, how to get better grades, and much more!

We teach the kids the 5 rules of engagement that include using verbal and nonverbal communication to deal with a bully successfully and without physical incidence.

The kids learn what to say and how to say it. They are taught to NEVER strike a bully and more.

The Facts About Bullying in Schools

Bullying among our youth is a significant problem–and it is steadily increasing.

Many experts fear bullying has become so widespread and common, adults are blinded to its extensive harm.

Here are the facts about Bullying:

It is estimated that 160,000 children miss school every day due to fear of attack or intimidation by other students. Source: National Education Association.
Young bullies carry a one in four chance of having a criminal record by age 30. Study by Leonard Eron and Rowell Huesman.
American schools harbor approximately 2.1 million bullies and 2.7 million of their victims. Dan Olweus, National School Safety Center.
One in seven students is either a bully or victim.
56% of students have personally witnessed some type of bullying at school.
15% of all school absenteeism is directly related to fears of being bullied at school.
71% of students report incidents of bullying as a problem at their school.
Mean behavior among kids is a universal problem. In a poll of 232 kids in kindergarten through 8th grade at a Connecticut elementary school, every child claimed to have been the victim of at least one schoolmate’s or sibling’s meanness in the previous month.

BULLYING MUST BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. TOO MANY CHILDREN ARE BEING EMOTIONALLY OR PHYSICALLY INJURED DUE TO BULLYING.

The best way to help children not become victims of bullies is by teaching them bully-proofing skills that help children learn to assertively and confidently stand up to bullying and teasing.

If we only changed one child’s life for the better, then our program would be a success… but we are changing hundred’s of children’s lives for the better through our programs!
