Bullying is a serious problem affecting our youth. 1 in 4 kids today are being bullied and 10% of those kids end up committing suicide. The Bullies Be Gone! Project Poetry Book aims to end bullying and save lives in an effective, original, and unique fashion, unlike any other anti-bullying program. Bullies Be Gone! has 78 original poems and 78 illustrations for each poem to self-empower children and teens to develop WORDS, PHRASES, and THE POEM itself to instill self-confidence and self-esteem. "WORDS can harm, hurt, deflate, and even KILL." "WORDS can also build self-confidence, empower, and HEAL!" The Parent/Teacher Manual and the Student Workbook are also available for purchase.
