Myth#7: Children who become bullies are usually loners and don't have many friends.

On the contrary, children who bully others usually have a larger network of friends than the children they bully! More importantly, they tend to have a small group of friends that supports and encourages their bullying efforts. Kids that bully tend to show more leadership skills than their victims or even those kids who are not involved in bullying!
Tomorrow is the last day for the contest! Send your ideas of how you would prevent bullying to: sharleyte@gmail.com and you may win one of 4 prizes! Also, parents and teachers, look for the free eBook coming out Friday as a download from my site: 12 Signs That Your Child May Be A Bully. For those of you in Santa Clarita, there will be a book launch event at Shave It Friday at 3:30 PM! Come and enjoy the beginning of summer!

Myth #6: Children that are bullied will most likely tell an adult.

Adults are usually the last to know. Children for the most part will not report cases of bullying. Why? Because of fear of retaliation on the part of the bullies, or perhaps they feel the adults won't take their fears seriously or won't deal with the situation in an appropriate way. I hope that my eBook, 12 Signs That Your Child May Be A Bully, makes an impact on the problem of bullying across the nation. It comes out on Friday, June 4th as a free download from my site here, so tell everyone you know who may benefit from it. Let's get this information out and protect our children! The Stop Bullying contest ends in two more days, Thursday, June 3rd, so make sure you enter by emailing your ideas or drawings to me at: sharleyte@gmail.com. I'll announce the prizes Friday night after the book launch event in Santa Clarita!
