This morning, while sipping my morning coffee, I ran across an interesting article regarding the results of Florida’s Jeffrey’s Law, a law that was passed mandating Florida schools reported, tracked and took action to stop bullying in schools. What made the article interesting were the numbers that were reported; some school districts reported zero instances […]
Dictionary.com defines a bully as, “a blustering, quarrelsome, overbearing person who habitually badgers and intimidates smaller or weaker people.” If you believe in this definition, bullies are very easy to spot. If you remember back to the video of the boy from Australia that I wrote about back in March, it was very evident who […]
Last night, a video from YouTube (now taken down) was featured on a national news channel, showing an incident of bullying that was – quite frankly – shocking. It was shocking, not only because of the graphic nature of the content, but because of the lessons it taught regarding bullying. The video – shot at […]
I have to warn you: the video assoicated with this post is graphic and disturbing. I also have to warn you that I am about to do something I normally DO NOT do – I am going to SHAMLESSLY plug something that I think every parent should consider for their child when it comes to […]

That is why when I witnessed this hard-hitting, unpopular, […]
I can’t believe it is the 10th of January, 2011 ALREADY – and I haven’t wished you a Happy New Year yet! Things have been crazy here around Bully Proof Central – the re-release of the book, “Bully Proof Kids” , now re-named to “Bullies Suck”; the building of the Bully Proof Brigade Members Area, […]
The legislation being considered by the State of New Jersey in response to the suicide death of the Rutgers University student sends the WRONG message when it comes to bullying. I know I am going to step on toes with this one, so please hear me out. Don’t get me wrong; I believe that ANY […]
I was walking through the airport terminal at Los Angeles International this morning, on my way home to South Florida to visit friends, family and enjoy the Florida State vs. Miami football game, when something out of the corner of my eye literally reached out and grabbed me.

I just heard of this on Fox News with Megyn Kelly – and when I heard it, I became so upset I just HAD to write and share it with you. This story is EXACTLY what is wrong with the school systems, legal system, and sadly, our country. That is why I recently shot a […]
