Dear Friends...

As we are gaining Celebrity support and in our pre-launch phase, let us clarify what we do here and what or what not you can post.
This is a place for you to vent, speak your mind.  After a day or encounter with your bully you may need to say a few words.  This is where you can.  YOU have a voice here.  You can come here as well to read about other kids and their experiences as well.  YOU are NOT alone! 
We will take the comments and  create material for schools and youth groups who would like to open discussion regarding this matter.  Because bullies usually do the most talking, together we can take a stand and show them how the kids feel who are bullied.  It shows schools how you really feel, what you are thinking, how hurtful the comments or actions really are.  It may just be an incidence at your school but when people can see how often it really happens and this matter needs to be taken seriously it creates the basis for serious conversations.  This is something everybody can relate to.
What you can post and what you may not.  We do NOT tolerate:  you do not need to name your bully or give your name, no cursing, no negative comments from bullies, no suggestive comments, no sexual comments, no death threats and threats in any harmful way.   You can submit pictures instead of comments or any other art as long as it goes along with our rules.  We will post it the same way.  Poems are fine as well.  If you would like to write a short story, it will be ok and get posted as long as our rules apply.  Or just leave comment.  Example:
My DEAR bully,
I felt like crying when you said those things at school today.  I hate you.  Who do you think you are?  Do you feel bigger and better now, just because your friends laughed?
or
My DEAR bully,
I cried for hours after school today.... thanks a lot
or
My DEAR bully,
what is wrong with you.  You think you are so tough!  I saw you at the store the other day and the way your mom yelled at you.  Maybe that is where you learned your big words!! hahaha  So uncool!  I would say pic on somebody else but that would be rude to another person, and the cycle continues.  Look at yourself, that is the person you want to be?
or
My DEAR bully,
you need anger-management!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(


So basically, anything goes.
How to post:  You can leave a message in the comment box or simply e-mail us at sek4u@writeme.com  , add the heading My DEAR bully to it please.  That way we know it is not related too regular business mail.
Look, bullies may not know the way you feel.  They might be more concerned how 'great' it makes them feel to cause sadness to you.  There may be many reason for their actions.  Some kids could actually change when they get confronted by the seriousness and real feelings their victims may have.  Parents and schools can learn to understand the emotions a bully-victim may have and not just toss it aside as: ah well, they are just kids.  They need to learn to get along.
It is not always as simple as that.   And just because you don't come out swinging doesn't mean you don't mind.  Some parents of bullies close their eyes to what is going on, not wanting to be confronted with the damage their kids really are doing.  Or schools may ignore the fact these things are happening because the bully's parents are great financial, or otherwise, contributors to the school.  However, this is important.  This matters, YOU matter and here is YOUR voice!!!!!!
That said, the forum is open for your posts. 
We will keep working on this blog and are adding many things along the way.  Read or go ahead and vent, leave a message.
