Using your Superpowers to help build Supergirls

30% of school age children are bullied every year. 1 out of 4 kids (grade levels 6-10) experience bullying.
We’ve seen the headlines, and disturbing outcomes, the sadness and the grief. But we have yet to see someone step up to the task of finding a way to help children who have experienced bullying, overcome it.
I wasn’t bullied in school, and I hope that no one thought of me as a bully. But what I didn’t do was stand up for those that were being bullied. Friends, peers or classmates, I rarely took a public stance when the negativity landed at the feet of someone in school. Sure, behind the public eye I might have consoled and grieved with them, but never did I once take a stand. Maybe that’s part of the reason I’m in Public Relations. It forces me to take a stand on a client, person, product, service and speak up for it.
