Another Resource: Anti Bullying Book for Students in Folsom, El Dorado Hills and the Greater Sacramento Area

Great to see the problem of cyber bullying being thought through in this article review of the book by Jessica Golden. Although there are many different ways to be proactive about bullying, this review seems to explain that the book focuses on the different blocks and tracking devices available to put a halt on the cyber bullying that can take place.

The best medicine is prevention.

These tools would allow us to prevent instances of bullying that take place online. That is great. However, it doesn't seem to come to the source of the problem, and doesn't seem to show a concrete understanding behind the psychology of the bully. What is the purpose of the bully? Why are they trying to hurt the people around them? What can we do to help the bully understand that their behavior is unacceptable?

These are a few questions I hope the book addresses in their analysis.

Needless to say, this is another great resource to reference when talking to parents and community members about anti-bullying. A tool for us to use to better understand the varying dynamics of cyber bullying.

El Dorado Hills Brazilian Jiu Jitsu wishes every new student a great start to the new school year! If anyone is in need for anything, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We want to serve the community!

If you take away all the avenues that bullies have to torment, then the bullies will leave you alone” Jessica explains. “This I have learned from personal experience.
(PRWEB) August 05, 2014
In an era where new technology is the pinnacle of society, people--both young and old, still face an age old problem: Bullying. No longer limited to the playground at recess or the school yard, bullying has taken on many different forms over the years, and occurs in many different places. Currently there are five types: Verbal, Physical, Psychological, Covert, and CyberBullying. With the vast amount of innocent lives lost to suicide, (or more appropriately, bullycide), something has to be done about it.
That Being Said, We Have Just Found Our Saving Grace:
Jessica Golden, author of Stop Being Bullied: A How To Guide For Victims And Their Families, approaches the bullying problem from a different angle. “As a Survivor of bullying, I know how it feels firsthand to feel vulnerable and helpless.” says Jessica. “Looking back, I realized that things would have been a lot different for me if I had the resources available to me that I list in my book. That is why I approach bullying from a totally different angle.”
And what angle is that, one may ask? This book is not like other books which tell how to cope with bullying. Stop Being Bullied: A How To Guide For Victims And Their Families goes into extreme detail on how to take away the control that bullies have over you. “If you take away all the avenues that bullies have to torment, then the bullies will leave you alone” Jessica explains. “This I have learned from personal experience”.
What is included in this book includes, but is not limited to tracking IP addresses of cyberbullies so they can be prosecuted, Apps for your phone to block text messages and phone calls from cyberbullies, how to protect your email account from cyberbullies, instructions on how to cyberbully-proof your facebook and myspace accounts, as well as a myriad of other technologies for various popular instant messaging programs. Also included are some assertiveness training techniques, as well as an extensive list of tuition free online public schools as well as online private schools, should the bullying get out of hand.
Stop Being Bullied: A How To Guide For Victims And Their Families is available exclusively in the Amazon Kindle Store. Priced at only $9.99, and 201 pages in length, this book is made for any person on any budget. “I wanted to make it affordable to everyone.” Jessica says, on a final note. “You don’t have to have a Kindle in order to read my book, as there are Kindle Apps available for your phone, PC, Ipad, Iphone and other devices.”
Jessica is also in the process of writing another book specifically addressing CyberBullying and going into more detail of how to use the same legal tools that Law Enforcement uses to document CyberBullying Crimes in order to prosecute Cyber Bullies to the fullest extent of the law.

Cyber bullying at 1 in 4 El Dorado Hills Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Fights Back

The more we become connected online and are able to embrace friends and interactions through our phone, laptop, and mobil device, the more we need to think about teaching our kids the guidelines on how to use these devices.

1 in 4 children admit to cyber bullying, and those are just the students who are willing to acknowledge and conscious of the actions. It wouldn't be surprising if more than half of students online haven't taken part in some form of bullying online.

The first step to bully prevention begins with talking to our children about how we communicate, both in person and online. Since most of these are taking place on social networking sites, regardless of the persons presence or not, they needs to be an understanding and training for students to be more aware and mature when using these devices.

El Dorado Hills Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu  is a martial arts school located in El Dorado Hills, CA that reinforces these lessons on the mat. In our curriculum we include thoughts, training, and methods to help address a bully both in person and online. More importantly, we talk to our students about different possibilities, and keep the parents as well as the students up to date on how they can be advocates agains bullying.

One in four secondary school students admitted that they have bullied their peers online within the past year, a poll has found, while one in three said they have been victims of cyber bullying.
These ranged from spreading rumours or vicious remarks about a person on social networks, to "defacing" a person's picture and then circulating it online.
One in five primary school children, too, reported being "cyber bullied".
The survey of 3,000 secondary school students and 1,900 primary pupils was done by Touch Cyber Wellness, the main agency that runs online safety talks in schools here.
 BACKGROUND STORY
New app offers safety tips
PARENTS who want to find out more about what their children get up to in cyberspace can now do so while on the move.
SingTel and Touch Cyber Wellness launched Singapore's first cyber-wellness mobile app - dubbed notAnoobie - last week.
In popular lingo, the term "noobie" refers to a novice.
The free app aims to be a one-stop information source to help parents better understand and protect their children from online risks.
Parents can be kept in the loop about the latest cybertrends in six key areas via the app: gaming, social media, cyber bullying, inappropriate online content, mobile technology and online privacy.
In each section, there are resources such as game reviews and real-life stories of young people who had to grapple with online bullying or online scams and pornography.
"Many parents have told us that they are often clueless about their children's online activities. Yet, they are and should be the first line of defence when their children run into problems," said Mr Eugene Seow, executive director of Touch Community Services.
The app is available for download on the Apple iTunes and Google Play stores.
