Benefits of donating to the
Le Antonio's Foundation's End Bullying Globally cause are life changing to the victims of bullying, the witnesses to bullying, the bully, the community, and the society at large.
Le Antonio's Foundation has taken on the task to stop this aggressive harmful behavior in the early stage - in the public schools - . Violence and harmful behavior is no secret in public schools, giving silent permission to bullying which often goes undetected. The school systems are geared towards corrective behavior and discipline in violent and harmful situations that place the students in direct physical danger, and in most cases miss the root cause of the issue, or overlook the emotional damage to the children involved.
Le Antonio's Foundation End Bulling Globally School Campaigns
Here is where the Le Antonio's Foundation will benefit the youths, we will place youth support groups in each school to monitor incidents leading to bullying, provide counseling, intervention, support, behavior modification, mentoring, on going awareness and other assistance as needed.
Effects of Bullying: Bullying affects the victim as well as the witnesses and even the bully. While physical bullying is obvious, verbal bullying, isolation, emotional bullying and cyber-bullying are just as harmful, but often goes undetected. Bullying can change the life course of a young person when there is no outlet. Not every child will report that they are being bullied to an adult, the school officials, or their parents. Many times this issue will be reported by someone else (another child or friend of the victim, or relative of the victim), who may want to remain anonymous; however, they often miss the opportunity to help the victim. Their reports are often made at later stages in the victimization, when the victim has endured much damage and pain. Why is that so? This is as a result of lack of awareness to identify the signs of bullying, and lack of support groups in the schools and community to deal with the issue of bullying.
Bullies:Many times the bullies are children who have been victims of bullying themselves and have turn their hurt into aggression, to either protect themselves, or as an outlet to release the aggression the pain has caused them. Many times the post-violence of bullying will "create" "little aggressors" who react based on their environment and exposure. There is always an emotional and psychological cause behind the action of a bully. This behavior can almost always be corrected and redirected, with love, mentoring, corrective actions, positive enforcement and intervention into the root cause of their actions. It is factual that kids who bully others can exhibit life regretful actions which may lead them into the jail or prison systems. Bullies often become drug users as adolescence and adults. They often get into fights to exhibit false "self control" (the I'm in charge syndrome), they also are known to vandalize properties and become school drop outs, while the schools miss their cry for help and non-verbally label them as bad or problem students that they would rather not deal with.
Victims of Bullying:Victims of bullying can display hurt and fear in many ways, some students begin to isolate themselves, hiding to get away from it all physically and emotionally is a common behavior, they will exhibit anxiety, aggression, sadness, fear, agitation, sadness, changes in school patterns, changes in work patterns, changes eating patterns, loss of interest in activities in activities they once enjoyed, sleeping more than normal or not sleeping as well, sudden change in friends, drop in their grades and extra studies, skip school, miss classes, drop out of school, and even suicide.
Witnesses of Bullying: The witnesses of bullying are also affected, they can experience anxiety, worry, sadness, fear of being next, feeling of helplessness, or can feel responsible. Some witnesses even get aggressive to stand up for the victim and become entangled in this vicious cycle where they too may experience change in their school and activity patterns; and even get bullied themselves.
Le Antonio's Foundation's Anti-Bullying Support Groups
With
Le Antonio's Foundation's Victim Support Groups in the schools we will be able to identify the victims and provide counseling, support, intervention and elimination of the root cause of the bullying, create a stable environment for the students with love and mentoring, assistance in the areas that have been damaged or which has become difficult for the victims and or witnesses.
The impact of bullying on society is greater than may be obvious. When bullying is not identified and corrected, bullies become misdirected adult who have no regard for authority and the law, feels rejected and reject or abuse their spouses, children, and families. They are generally low producers in the society. The victims of bullying can often fail to mature in their full potentials while in their primary and secondary school years, therefore becoming adults who live with life long emotional scars and damages resulting in their low contribution to their society. Some victims never overcome their childhood hurt, fear, rejection, aggression, anxiety, and have difficulty moving forward as adults. Adults who were victims of childhood or adolescent bullying are often unaware that their principal issues with confrontation was left behind from their childhood spiritual and emotional disturbance. Witnesses of bullying can experience some of the same effects as the victims, and exhibit some of same effects as the bullies, and become fearful low-producers in their society.
Le Antonio's Foundation End Bullying Globally initiative will not only provide ongoing education to the students in the public schools but will have an open door and hot-line for anyone to report an action of bullying or any action resembling bullying. Our campaign goes into the schools and educated the students on bullying and the effects of this action on their lives, we motivate the youths and will get them involved in taking care of each other in the prevention of bullying. They will know how to get help, where to go and who to report bullying to. All information of bullying will be thoroughly investigated by the Foundation. The End Bullying Globally initiative is a community outreach and will not only serve the schools but the youths and families living in the inner-city communities - our doors are open to our community.

Mr. Reid, Le'Antonio's Foundation's Youth Coordinator and Mrs. Rackeisha Newby visited the other sixth (6) grade class and gave the students a presentation about the awareness of bullying and its effects on them and their peers, and ways each student can help to stop bullying. We discussed warning signs that students can recognize if another student is being bullied.
