You Know You're a Bully When...


1)   You hurt someone, to make yourself feel good.
2)   You see how someone is different, before you see how he or she is alike.
3)   You think that “making fun” is having fun.
4)   You crave attention and you’ll do anything to get it.
5)   You think you’re more important than everyone else.
6)   You think the only feelings that matter, are yours.
7)   You hate being ignored more than you hate being in trouble.
8)   You decide to use your power for evil instead of good.
9)   Your friends start to turn on you because you let them take the fall.
10)   You’re not smart enough to figure out how dumb you’re acting.

We are the Bully Basherz!

The Bully Basherz are a non-profit group of fabulous kids and concerned parents, with an action plan to help school aged kids feel empowered to stand up to bullies!


The Bully Basherz are going to help schools put together action plans and assemblies, to teach kids how to handle themselves when faced with verbal and physical abuse from another classmate. We are going to use our "Positive Power" to teach bullies that they are wrong, and that bullying will not be tolerated while the Bully Basherz are around! Our empowered kids will help each other, support each other, and verbally defend each other when faced with a bully. We will help our kids by giving them positive, useful tips for dealing with bullies. Our goal is to take away the bully's power by standing strong together!


We are in the process of developing materials with helpful information for parents and kids to use as a reference guide when dealing with a bully. We are also developing materials for schools to use in the classroom, for counselors to use in sessions with the kids, and procedures for the administration to follow when dealing with bullies. All of our materials are being developed by parents, for parents. We'll let you know very soon, how you can donate money to help us defeat the bullies!


Only a parent knows the emotional distress, anxiety, and fear that their child faces when dealing with a bully. Bully Basherz' tried and true methods have been passed down from generation to generation, and are proven, successful ways of dealing with bullies. No, we are NOT going to advise anyone to have their kid "meet the bully behind the gym after school." But, we ARE going to do things like, "kill bullies with kindness," teach our kids to stand up for themselves, and stand together, to defeat the bully's anger, meanness, and hostility. 


Together, we can help our kids and their classmates, beat the bullies at their own game; but do it in a completely positive and uplifting way. We need all of your suggestions and ideas that have worked in the past. But, we also need to know about the troubles you and your child are facing now. We need to hear about the bullying that is happening today, so that we can teach them how to handle it now and in the future. 


The most important thing to remember is that a child's basic emotional well-being later in life, comes from their life as a child. We must insure that they feel safe, secure, and strong enough to handle bullies; because unfortunately, they'll be dealing with them for the rest of their lives. 


Bullying will not be tolerated when the Bully Basherz are around!
