Students are 9 times more likely to die From Cyberbullying.
Cyberbullying is not only incredibly destructive. But were you aware that it can actually be deadly? Unfortunately, that has happened far too many times.
What is "True" Self-Confidence?
True Self-confidence is, without a doubt, one of the two most important traits that a child, any child, can have that will help them to avoid becoming the target of a bully and becoming a successful and prosperous adult. True Self-Confidence and Self-Esteem are both necessary for a child to be ready to face the world. Self-confidence and self-esteem are not one and the same. They are related but different. Self-confidence is based upon accomplishments, not compliments. Self-esteem is how you feel about yourself.
It is based Upon Accomplishments, Not Compliments.
“True” self-confidence is confidence that is based upon accomplishments, not compliments. Riding a bicycle, driving a car, becoming part of an athletic team are all examples of accomplishments. It is anything that you have to practice to become better and better at. Self-esteem is how you feel about yourself. It could be your appearance or your ability at being a good friend or how organized you are.
Two Types of Self-confidence.
This article deals primarily with “True” Self-Confidence. There are two different types of self-confidence: “True” self-confidence and “False” self-confidence. One will help your child to avoid becoming a target of bullies. The other will almost assuredly make them one. So, it is critically important to make this one of the focal points in any anti-bullying effort on your part for your child’s benefit.

I show you what “To Do” and what “Not To Do”. Unfortunately, this is not as intuitive as you might think. The advice that I offer is based upon 60+ years of common-sense experience dealing with bullying on my part.

Students are 9 times more likely to die From Cyberbullying.
The following article is a true story that vividly points out the effects of cyberbullying and about what happened to a 12-year-old New Jersey girl who became the target of a group of other girls.
She hung herself after being taunted and cyberbullied on Snap Chat in 2017. As the story goes, her mother had complained to her daughter’s school numerous times. All to no avail. The parents filed suit against the school after their child killed herself claiming wrongful death. As much as I might understand why they took this action, I have to say that I do not think they will probably win this fight. Her parents claim that they have proof of more than a dozen instances of Cyberbullying.
This is a perfect example of the parents expecting someone else to care for their child as much as they did. They did the right thing when they made the school aware of what was going on. They should have been concentrating on how to prevent cyberbullying of their daughter. They just did not go far enough. The parents do share some of the blame for what happened for not doing more. They definitely could have used the help of https://pixelprivacy.com/. They specialize in Doxxing which is a form of Cyberbullying.
Folks, if that had been my child the school board would have been my next stop. If it looked like they still were not taking me seriously. Then it would be time to take more dramatic action. Your child’s welfare is more your responsibility than anyone else’s. If the school board still did not take immediate action I would have taken my case to the state Education Board.
If this did not get any attention I would have had no hesitation what so ever about taking it to the news media. You CAN NOT just make a complaint to the school and then hope they will do something about it.Another form of Cyberbullying is called "Doxxing".“Doxxing” is when someone finds personal information about someone else, usually an internet user, and publishes it online for the world to see. That’s why it’s called “doxxing” – referring to “documents,” shortened to “doc” and then changed to “dox.”The information that’s published can include the real name, home address, email address, telephone number, photos and other personal information of the victim, leading to attacks that can move from the online world to the physical one.

CRT is Bullying!
I can make a solid case showing how CRT violates all six primary types of bullying. It has been used to bully virtually every single parent and all public school students in this country over the last twenty years. It has also been used by teachers and counselors to bully children. The behavior of the teacher/counselor in the above video is absolutely abhorrent, to say the least. If a parent was caught behaving in this manner. They would be charged with child abuse.
Unless you have been living under a rock for the last couple of years or you do not have children. You most likely have heard of Critical Race Theory. But since you probably pay property taxes. You still need to know what CRT is. Your property taxes are used to support it. There are only two groups in American society as far as the Pro CRT crowd is concerned. The Oppressed and the Oppressors.
This is a system that pits people of color against the white race. The basic thought of anyone who believes in this system is that everyone who was born as a person of color is a victim. They are the Oppressed. Anyone who was born white is looked at as being an Oppressor. A white person is considered an oppressor from the very first minute that came into this world. They are considered to be the decedents of slave owners and are therefore guilty of racism.
Most of the time, CRT uses indirect/verbal bullying. This is where language is used to make people feel very uncomfortable. The goal of verbal bullying is to demean and degrade the victim while making the aggressor look dominant and powerful.
This is exactly what the current candidate, Terry McAuliffe, for Virginia governor did when he stated that he does not want parents to have anything to say about what is taught in the classroom. Verbal bullying includes name-calling, insults about your intelligence, and appearance. The best way to fight back is to stand firm. Do not allow the bully to see that he has gotten under your skin so to speak.
Mr. McAuliffe’s statement is in direct opposition to a statement made recently by Chief Tracy Aron of the Mansfield, Texas Police Dept. He stated that parents should maintain a constant presence in their child’s life. I completely and totally agree with the Chief on this issue.
The Unions and Marxism
The proponents of “Critical race theory” 
considered it to be a way of understanding how American racism has shaped public policy or a divisive discourse that pits people of color against white people? Liberals and conservatives are in sharp disagreement on this point. Frankly, I think that it is just an excuse. CRT is just a way for the unions to push their Marxist idealogy.
The two national teachers’ unions, the National Educational Association and the American Federation of Teachers also defend this flawed theory. In their minds, the barbarians (meaning CRT resistors) are at the gate. Not since the Common Core debate has the educational establishment faced such serious resistance—and this wave is even more threatening.
Indeed, Common Core was a clash over curricula and teaching methods. Now, teachers are telling children that their parents are racists.
The events of the last decade have increased public awareness about things like housing segregation, the impacts of criminal justice policy in the 1990s, and the legacy of enslavement on Black Americans. But there is much less consensus on what the government’s role should be in righting these past wrongs. Add children and schooling into the mix and the debate becomes especially volatile.
A Trojan Horse
CRT is a Trojan Horse for Marxism. If you discover your college student wanting to leave school because of their hatred and disdain for America and capitalism. You are not alone. CRT is not simply teaching children about systemic racism throughout American history. It is teaching them to hate everything about our country. It no longer teaches them about opposing ideas and philosophies in college. They are being indoctrinated into Marxists ideologies.
CRT Is Bullying
Loudoun County Va. seems to be at the center of the Anti-CRT storm. But they are certainly not the only place where parents are objecting to this divisive theory. It is the place where bullying seems to be the most noticeable. Politicians throughout the nation are responding: Republican-led legislatures in Idaho, Texas, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Oklahoma have passed bills banning the teaching of certain race-related issues in schools.
Recently the Biden Administration has continued the Obama policy of pitting government agencies against their political enemies. Last week, the far-left National School Board Association solicited President Joe Biden’s assistance in their battle against parents who oppose the teaching of critical race theory in public schools and mask mandates.
In a letter to Biden, they made the case that these parents should be treated as domestic terrorists. It is extremely disturbing that the presidential administration would become involved in a request by a National Teachers Union. Particularly calling for classifying parents as Domestic Terrorists just for expressing their opinions which are guaranteed by the First Amendment. This is a blatant attempt by the left to exert political control over American parents and their children. But this is again just a standard tactic of the Marxist left.
This is just plain old fashion Intimidation which is also a form of bullying. Threatening to sic law enforcement onto parents who are doing nothing more than expressing the First Amendment rights of Free speech. The outright threat of physical violence and being arrested can be particularly frightening to a lot of people for doing nothing more than defending their child.
Are the Unions The Terrorists?
The NSBA began by asking “for federal law enforcement and other assistance to deal with the growing number of threats of violence and acts of intimidation occurring across the nation.”
- “Now, we ask that the federal government investigate, intercept, and prevent the current threats and acts of violence against our public school officials through existing statutes, executive authority, inter-agency and intergovernmental task forces, and other extraordinary measures to ensure the safety of our children and educators, to protect interstate commerce, and to preserve public school infrastructure and campuses.”
- The group said they have already called on local and state law enforcement agencies to “prevent further disruptions to educational services and school district operations.” This is insufficient because “these threats and acts of violence have become more prevalent.”
- What is really needed to address these threats, the NSBA writes, is assistance from federal law enforcement agencies – specifically the DOJ, the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Secret Service.
- And here is the clincher: “As these acts of malice, violence, and threats against public school officials have increased, the classification of these heinous actions could be the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes.”
Are Parents Terrorists?
These parents are not domestic terrorists. They are rightly concerned when they discover their children are being indoctrinated by anti-American propaganda. Rather than being taught an accurate version of history, their children are learning to view the world through the lens of race and hate. It’s the old fashion Democrat mantra of “Rules for thee, but not for me.”
Even the US Attorney General, Merrick Garland, has instructed the FBI to mobilize against parents who oppose critical race theory in public schools, citing “threats.” Now it seems like exercising your First Amendment rights of Free Speech are considered illegal as far as the Left and the Biden Administration is concerned. Not only is using govt agencies against your political opponents illegal, but it is also against the Constitution. But why should we expect anything different? Obama did the exact same thing.
The Left’s Truth
The political left is using the same methods that the Russian newspaper “Pravda” uses. In Russian, Pravda means “The Truth”. But it is the truth as they see it. The left seems to think that if they see something like the truth. Then everyone else should also see it as the truth. Whether the rest of society agrees with them or not.
Different type of Bullying
CRT is Bullying that is being used through the use of indoctrination. The method of indoctrination that is being used is called The Prussian School Method. It came out of Prussia’s failed military conquests during the Napoleanic wars. This is a method that was first conceived and used In Prussia in 1830.
Its purpose was to create obedient sycophants that would follow any order without question, regardless of how brutal it might be. It worked and is now being used in schools all over the country to replace what we as parents think of as a standard education that includes reading, writing, math, and history.
Children from ages 3 to 13 are being exposed to the brainwashing that exists at all levels of education. The left uses a combination of propaganda and suppression to push kids into the ensnaring grip of socialism and anti-patriotism. It is an attempt at re-segregating America.
In addition, the “Critical Race Theory” isn’t even a theory. It is a philosophical concept. Theories involve research, facts, scientific laws and inferences and tested hypotheses. Critical Race “Theory” has none of this backing it. What kind of research can be done to scientifically study this “theory”? It would be pretty much impossible to do any scientific studies of it. It should not even be considered as part of any curriculum in any school until the research is done.
CRT and Indoctrination
Indoctrination happens through many channels—entertainment, speeches, and censorship––but its main instrument is the school system. Teachers have a captive audience of malleable young minds for several years. They may not have figured out how to make students smart and productive, but they can at least make them submissive and obedient.
During the early 1830’s the Prussian School system was put into place within the public schools. It was a system that was blatantly biased so that the Elites would have a steady supply of obedient employees. This same system is being used in American Public schools for the same purpose. The left is currently using it for the exact same reasons.
The Seattle Public Schools will spend a full week promoting Black Lives Matter lesson plans which include the Prussian methods to students. Teachers have the green light to editorialize the content to their captive students.
Now you have a very good idea of why so many parents are so opposed to CRT.
What Are the 6 Types Of Bullying
What Are the 6 Types Of Bullying.
The book “Bully Proofing Your Child” is where I describe the different types of Bullying of which there are six.
They are:
1) Physical
2) Verbal
3) Indirect
4) Social alienation
5) Intimidation
6) Cyberbullying
Physical is the one that most people think about when they hear the word Bullying. It is the easiest form of bullying to recognize. It covers shoving, poking, throwing things, slapping, choking, punching, kicking, beating, stabbing, tripping, pulling hair, scratching, biting, scraping, pinching and more. Any type of physical touching that is meant to cause another person to fear for their safety. Sexual assault is also included in this category.
It is most likely to occur on the way to school or when your child is headed home after the school day is over. This also happens on a school bus far more than you might realize.
Since boys tend to be far more aggressive than girls. They are more likely to be involved in physical bullying. Girls on the other hand are more likely to use something like social alienation, which I also describe in detail in the book.
