We have to empower our kids through continual conversation and communication that bullying is not OK. We also have to make them believers that if they come to us with these types of problems we’ll take action immediately. We cannot sit back and minimize the effect that bullying may have on their lives, because it didn’t effect ours. We have to engage with teachers to find out what’s going on in the schools. If teachers don’t give you the information that you need, you should be prepared to escalate matters to up the school system chain of command. We are our children’s biggest advocates, and we can’t affort to let another child miss school, slip into depression, or even worse die at the hands of bullying.
In a personal effort to raise awareness about bullying I’ve partnered with rapper/actor Tray Chaney (HBO’s The Wire) to shoot and direct his new music video titled, Mike Bully (Stand Up For Our Future). You can support the effort by viewing and sharing the video below. After you’ve seen the video you can join the conversation on Twitter using the hashtag #MikeBully.
