Something near and dear to my heart if you have a moment: Participation in #sports can be two-fold as it can both be a refuge from #bullying as well as lead to additional incidents of bullying. Check out this amazing #bullyingpreventionprogram called #ShredHate created by ESPN, supported by MLB and XGames, and powered by NoBully_org, that seeks to eliminate bullying by encouraging #kids to #choosekindness. With 10 million #students bullied each year in the U.S., the need and timing for such a program is critical. Shredhate.org. Let me know if you’ve been affected by bullying too. I’d like to help even if it’s just to lend an ear.
