Welcome, Fullerton People Who Have Been Bullied!

Did you know 160,000 students a day miss school due to bullying? That is nearly 30 million absences a year in our nation?s schools. With school budgets based on average daily attendance, bullying is a $2 billion dollar drain on school budgets.

Last year I received the proverbial wake up call. I had jury duty on a gang shooting trial. The teens involved participated in a rolling car-to-car gun battle down residential streets. Afterwards, I asked myself where does the violence start? And when can the community intervene to end it?

My client base includes two criminal psychologists, a psychology professor, other mental health and law enforcement professional, and a dear friend is the director of a local Boys and Girls Club. I started asking questions about the causes of youth violence. One criminal profiler told me that everyone she profiles is a bully whose behavior continued to escalate. It also appears that one of the indicators for gangs is bullying. I would like to partner with others in the community and nation who are interested in ending bullying.
