Stop Bullying: Speak Up – Facebook and Time Warner Team Up
Today Facebook and Time Warner are launching the Stop Bullying: Speak Up Social Pledge App. The Facebook app is aimed at educating people about the harm that bullying can cause and inspiring bystanders to speak up whenever they see bullying. The app is full of great resources, including the ability to create bullying prevention groups in schools and expert tips from safety organizations. We encourage everyone to pledge to stop bullying by speaking up, and help us spread the word.

Don’t wait for bullying to happen. Be PROACTIVE. Superintendent of Schools Greg Darling, Humboldt, Iowa, reported fewer incidents of bullying after teachers in grades 2 – 8 read and discussed DON’T CALL ME MICHAEL. This chapter book is a story about bullying, friendship, and forgiveness. DON’T CALL ME MICHAEL is vehicle for classroom discussion to encourage students to talk about what is really happening in their school environment. A great way to begin your school year, this book will provide students with the opportunity to be part of the solution to bullying issues. Signed copies of my book and an activity packet with project ideas and questions based on Bloom’s Taxonomy are available upon request from the author.
