Bullying is a real problem for kids today. One of the moms in our club is a teacher for a local middle school. She conducted an anonymous survey of her 50-something students. Over 80% of them said they saw bullying take place EVERY DAY.

So how do we combat it? How do we educate ourselves and our kids on how to deal with it? We have packets prepared by the Garner Police Department. Please take the time to download the PDF files and familiarize yourself with them. (Links to the right) Help your child to understand them as well. If there's anything we can do to help, please let us know. (Sure training in Karate is great - when students develop their self-confidence, a lot of bullying just magically goes away!)
