Bullying - More Harmful than you Think

The consequences of Bullying is not just getting beat up. These people committed suicide because of it. Could their outcome have been different?

Beat Bullying

This is a group of celebrities against bullying. Cyber bullying is increasing in today's high tech society. I can leave emotional scars that can last a lifetime. Don't put up with it.

Bullying

Bullying has been going on for years. It is nothing new but it does seem to be more prevalent now. Is your child being bullied? Teach your child how to become more confident. Developing Confidence will carry you through a life time. The effects of bullying will do the same. It leaves long-lasting psychological scars.

We will be hosting Free (anti) Bullying Seminars and Workshops for our community. Check back for dates or visit our website: http://www.unitedstateskarateacademy.com
