Karate World of Surfside Beach Begins “Bully Battle ’14”!
In our quest to stamp out bullying, I think the best place to start is to define exactly what a bully is. Dictionary.com defines a bully as “a person who is habitually cruel or overbearing, especially to smaller or weaker people”.
Our next step is to identify the types of bullying that might occur. When I asked the kids in karate class, 3 main types were suggested:
- physical bullying
- verbal bullying
- cyber bullying
Over the next several weeks, we will be learning how to recognize and deal with each type of bully.
In the mean time, I highly recommend that parents and students check out StopBullying.gov . I have found a lot of useful information on that site.
