    Anti-bullying materials available from Witnesses

    Members of the Jehovah's Witnesses have developed a curriculum to teach young people how to resist bullies and bullying.

    Based on the experiences Witnesses endured as one of the groups persecuted by the Nazis in Germany, the materials encourage students to retain their own integrity under pressure, to stand up for others and to resist unkindness in themselves and the temptation to retaliate when they feel wronged.

    Presentations and materials are suitable for public or church settings in the North Alabama area.

    Information is available at http://studentissues.info. The office for the project, called the Mid-South Minority Education Council, is located near Nashville: 615-355-5636.

    100 dollars says whatever their advice is, makes it worse for kids. the only way to stand up to bullies is tokick their butts. most of the fights i've been in were over other people. i had a lot of friends that were little guys, and when others would mess with them, they had to deal with me.

    Is 'someone' gunning for a[nother] Public Service Announcement award or recognition? A 'gold star' or 'feather in the cap' that can be capitalised on later? This reminds me of :

    Protect Your Children (Public Service Announcement)
    The public service announcement Protect Your Children received outstanding recognition in September 2003 when it was nominated by the the National Television Academy for an Emmy Award in the category of Public and Community Service. This public service announcement is part of an ongoing effort by Jehovah's Witnesses to bring attention to Bible principles that can help families deal with some of the most complex social issues of our time.

    Teach Your Children (Public Service Announcement)
    "If you don't influence your children, who will?" This probing question introduces the third public service announcement of the series Love Builds Happy Families. In this brief spot Jehovah's Witnesses provide viewers with a snapshot of tried and proven advice for parents to consider.

    Love Your Children (Public Service Announcement)
    Children need a sense of security to overcome their fears, especially in times of heightened anxiety. Jehovah's Witnesses hope that the message in this public service announcement will encourage parents to take the time to listen to their children and talk to them, letting them know they are loved.

    Love Builds Happy Families (Public Service Announcement)
    The family unit today is under more stress than ever before. In one instant, feelings of security and safety can be seriously threatened. In such times we turn to our most basic support group for comfort and courage—the family. The Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses hopes that your viewers will find personal comfort in this message.

    Oddly enough of the 10 PSA videos listed on that page, only those 4 dealing with the WTBS' outstanding advice concerning children and families (with children) are 'No longer available'. Withdrawn in recognition of the irony, or oversubscribed?

    Thankfully I never saw any of those commercials, especially the "love builds happy families" I would have taken my TV out in the yard and busted it up against the tree.
