Tabatha Coffey is taking over another project, but this time it’s not a hair salon or other storefront business. The Tabatha Takes Over star wants you to join her in an effort to stop cyber-bullying.
Tabatha published an entry on her blog talking about why putting an end to bullying is so important to her, along with a resource list of websites and organizations that are devoted to ending bullying.
From Tabatha’s blog:
Bullying has become a major concern and a common headline these days. We are losing our youth to bullies that pick on them for their weight, sexuality, religion, and so much more.
When a Tennessee legislator began pushing a bill that allowed bullying of LGBTQ kids, I decided I couldn’t be quiet any longer. It’s time to put an end to bullying.
If you read my book, you know I was bullied for many things including my weight, my upbringing, and my sexual orientation. It made me stronger and who I am today, but that doesn’t excuse the bullying.
As you know, I can be tough on the business owners and employees on Tabatha Takes Over, but they ask for my help and want my style of tough love and honesty. I don’t walk into random businesses and serve snark on a whim.
In contrast, these young people are bullied daily. They don’t ask for it; they don’t seek it; they don’t deserve it. It’s time we Take Over and stop bullying today.
Tabatha also included this video:
Be sure to check out the resources she posted, and:
Do your part. If you see someone being bullied, speak up and intervene. If you know of a young person in need, offer them resources and speak to them about it. If your child or young adult is a bully, address it now.
To anyone reading this that is a victim of bullying, know that it really does get better.
Tabatha is right on the money
Bullying of any kind is disguisting and affects victims for many years after the bully had forgotten about it. I do think there are more and more helpful support initiatives to combat <a href="http://www.thekidszone.org.uk/help-advice/your-issues/bullying">bullying</a> these days than there ever was, but it is still difficult for the victims of bullying to come forward and seek justice and change. Tabatha is right on the money by saying that other people who see bullying need to step in and make a difference wherever possible.
