How do we help?

Bullying has been a problem for generations but recently it's getting a little more exposure. After a tragic suicide in South Hadley, MA, possibly caused by severe bullying (see Boston Globe article), more conversations regarding bullying, the responsibility of adults and the long-term effects are being had across the country.

To reduce or eliminate this mean-spirited trend, here are a few resources.

• Working It Out, Brownie Try-It Kit
• Conflict Resolution, Cadette-Ambassador IP Kit
• Volunteer Essentials, Creating a Safe Space for Girls
• What is Cyber Bullying? From LMK
• Stop Bullying Now

What actions do you take to discourage bullying? What do you do when you witness it? How do you help someone who is being bullied?
