There are times I feel smaller and less significant than this Gecko, but I am not about to let that stop me from doing my small part for bully prevention. Everyone who knows me knows this is a cause very dear to my heart. October is Bullying Prevention Awareness Month so I am grateful that Dr. Kathleen Kozak has invited me back to the “The Body Show” on Hawaii Public Radio at KIPO 89.3 FM on Monday, October 3, 2011 at 5:oo PM HST.

Bruce,
Thank you and thanks for those prayers you mentioned on the comment in your blog. We need them right now especially. You help to make the world brighter too. I think every positive thought and all the prayers do.
Blessing to you too!
Well done Sue, we are all ripples.
What we are doing can only help future ASD’s not have the fears that are obvious in every Aspie/Autie and those who love and care for them.
Keep up the good work my friend.
Love and hugs. xx 🙂
Lisa,
Thank you!
Love and hugs to you too!
Thanks for taking on the cause, Sue. It is a monstrous issue among both the young and older and the impacts of bullying without intervention are immense. People need to understand that it isn’t typical of adolescence or the old “boys (or girls) will be boys” syndrome. I would say that it is the most pressing issue in schools, more pressing than the absurd testing and accountability movement. I’m happy you are taking a lead in this area.
Phil,
Thank you! Miranda and I are both so grateful that you and Sharon understand. Too many, including some school principals and teachers fail to see how deep the impact is. It is like the old UNCF slogan, “A mind is a terrible thing to waste” and bullying is wasting minds and destroying the hearts and souls of our current and future generation.
