I had one too. It prompted me to write ‘Chestnuts: A True Story About Being Bullied,’ a book outlining practical strategies for defending against bullies and resolving the onflict and aggression that often plagues victims of bullying. Inside these pages, I will take you through my own harrowing journey with bullies – from boarding school beat-ups, to violent attacks from crazed skinheads on the streets of London, to bullies in public school in America. In each chapter a reflection of my personal story will show you what I did wrong, and how you can actually defend yourself in this modern day and age. Find out: * How bullying is perceived by bullies, victims, parents and teachers * What goes on in the mind of a bully, and what you can do about it * How authority figures often make bullying even worse * The steps you can take to defend yourself, find help and heal from the trauma In ‘Chesuts: A True Story About Being Bullied,’ you will find out how to deal with psychological, emotional and physical bullying – and even what to do when one of your teachers is being a bully.

Unfortunately, due to economic hardship and the recession, budget cuts would end Kristy’s job. Every day Kristy would wake up, make her coffee and then sit down in front of her computer in search of a new job. “Day after Day” this became her routine and to no avail. As time went by the process was most frustrating and she became very discouraged. This stirred unwanted emotions that she tried to tuck away through her work. ?   It was one morning that she turned on her computer in search for that new job she so desperately wanted and needed. She somehow opened her word program and began to write. “It was crazy, how this story just poured out of me” says Kristy. Although, “The Dance My First Love” is “Fiction” everyone knows there is some truth to most stories. As she wrote, emotion poured out of her. Taking her back to when she was a little girl, until the memories of the heartbreak of her first Love became fresh. She dedicated The Dance: My First Love to her first love. Although, her first love may never read it or even know about it. Kristy Cato says “It was amazing facing my fears and pain after all of these years”. As most of us know, there is nothing like your first true love. Miss Cato encourages those who have never experienced that first true love to embrace it when it happens and not take it for granted.   Kristy Cato resides in California where she was born and raised. 01:00:00The Bully Effect0noBully,Bullying,Bullies,Bullied,SurvivorFrom humble beginnings as a PA on a show, Kristy Cato knows exactly what hard work and dedication will get you as she was later promoted to Field Coordinator onThe Bully Effecthttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/catchyourdream_thebullyeffect/2014/09/26/the-bully-effect-1Familyhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/catchyourdream_thebullyeffect/2014/09/26/the-bully-effect-1/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/catchyourdream_thebullyeffect/2014/09/26/the-bully-effect-1Fri, 26 Sep 2014 22:00:00 GMTThe Bully EffectMy name is Stephen Lewis.

I'm 22 years old and I have autism since being diagnosed at the age of 2 1/2. Currently, i work at a local library in Beacon, NY to get some money. Outside of that, I'm a writer, motivational speaker and world/autism advocate to reach out people and raise their spirits. As of right now, I'm writing a book now titled This is Me: Life with Autism, which discusses my struggles and triumphs with my disability throughout my life. I do speeches at public places such as schools and libraries to raise awareness of autism, world problems and my struggles with my disability. Every day, there will be new challenges that are gonna confront me but I will get stronger and more confident as I conquered them. I always live by a quote made by Jim Henson. And i quote: "Life is meant to be fun, joyous, and fulfilling. May each of yours be that - having each of you as a child of mine has certainly been one of the good things in my life. Know that I've always loved each of you with an eternal, bottomless love. A love that has nothing to do with each other, for I feel my love for each of you is total and all-encompassing. Please watch out for each other and love and forgive everybody. It’s a good life, enjoy it." In order to be successful, i could try give the best advice which follows: Reach into your heart and soul to discover your talent. Sometimes, people's talents fade away and you lose something special so, hold on to it. If your talent or idea helps you, then let it set you free from the obstacles that are currently destroying your spirit. Follow your dreams and heart by listening to that “whisper” inside your head speaking to you. If you listen to it, you'll go somewhere.  https://www.facebook.com/TheBullyEffect?ref=bookmarks   00:54:00The Bully Effect0noHi, My name is Richie Jewell.

Diary of a Gay Nerd is the memoir of a child abuse survivor. He doesn't consider himself a victim as his sister claims, he considers himself a survivor and chose this platform to raise awareness of child abuse in America in the 1970's and 80's and especially how gay children are still being treated by homophobic parents and families. The book chronicles nearly 41 years in 41 chapters. The book details child abuse issues, Mike as a homeless teenager and his many relationships up until his current relationship which had lasted 17 years. Michel currently lives in Bakersfield with his partner of 20 years. He has many crafting hobbies and he sells them on Etsy as a supplemental income because his disability isn't enough to live on. He has been living with AIDS for more than 20 years and he has a mild form of Parkinson's and Scoliosis. The book cover says 10% of profits from the book go to charity, but after he published the book, he decided that he wanted to give 10% of profits to each of 3 LGBT organizations.

My family was never supportive of me. I've dealt with depression for many years. It has, in the past, gotten to the point where I just shut down. Over the years the bullying seemed to just get worse because my depression was getting worse. Eventually things started to look like they were heading towards a better time in my life and here I am. Now 18 and legally an adult.

I write poetry and fantasy novels I've been writing poetry since I was very very young have been through a lot in life just like everyone else has. I was bullied a lot growing up people would stop me just to jump me and I really didn't have many friends because of it but the ones I did have helped me a lot my family as well. It is hard to live when it feels like everyone hates you and my baby sister was always bullied as well and sadly still is that's why I write my poetry not just to inspire people but to let them know that they are not alone and no matter how down they feel there are soo many more people out there thinking the same things and feeling the same way but I mainly try to focus on helping people to understand that they are not alone in this big ol' world so many of my friends and family have been bullied so much including myself. I have friends who are suicidal and turn to drugs to numb the pain its just really sad I have helped many people in my life to realize that they are soo much more then people lead them to believe. So my main thing is you are not alone and I want people to know this and that is why I became a model and why I write my books because you don't have to be made of plastic or rich to become something more than what you can even imagine you just need to ignore the ones that hurt you and shoot for the stars and not stop till you get there. I want people to know that they are beautiful no matter what and they are perfect just the way they are doesn't matter what you look like or even who you love and that is why I do everything that I do.

I have been a podcaster for 6 years. I started in radio, with my best friend Jack Daniels, and have interviewed a variety of guests on a variety of topics. My girlfriend and I are started silence is screaming just two months ago, and have grown to over 1000 people in our group in such a short time. Our group, along with the many others that we work alongside, strive to help out any indivisual that is a victim of bullying in anyway we can. We have helped out a few families so far, and are striving harder to work with more in the future. Bullying is a personal subject to me, because I w as bullied for two and half years by someone I thought was my friend. He attacked my beliefs, isolated me from friends, turned other friends against me, and even almost ruined my relationship with my family. At one point in my life I was a bully, and I would say hurtful things on my past shows, before it became a anti bullying show. I was also bullied in high school for my constant panic attacks and adhd. The bullying got so bad at school that the only time people would talk to me was to mess with me. I mostly ate my lunch in the tv production room and away from the other kids. The reason I started being a anti bullying advocate is because I look back at my days in high school and I wish I had someone I could talk to about my bullying situation, and I think kids today feel the same.
