WHO AMONG US HAS NOT BEEN BULLIED AT ONE POINT OR ANOTHER. I CERTAINLY WAS AND  IT WAS A VERY DARK TIME IN MY LIFE THAT STILL HAUNTS ME AS A MIDDLE AGE ADULT.

IN FACT HERE'S SOME STARTLING STATISTICS:
There are about 71 percent of students that report bullying as an on-going problem.Along that same vein, about one out of every 10 students drops out or changes schools because of repeated bullying.

 
SO WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT IT?  MY GUEST TODAY, DR. AUDREY NEWSOME, IS A LEADING ADVOCATE TO PREVENT BULLYING STARTING FIRST AND FOREMOST WITH EDUCATION. SHE IS THE FOUNDER AND CEO OF THE BULLY SUICIDE PROJECT, A FORMER MARINE,  COMMUNITY LEADER, EDUCATOR AND IS THE WINNER OF THE 2014 E-WOMENNETWORK HUMINATIAN OF THE YEAR AWARD.
