The Problem

Bullying has become a huge problem in our sociey. I would like to think that by me coming forward that I prompted others to come forward and tell their story. I feel as though we need a real solution to help the kids of America today because if we don't I think that there will be more violence and gangs. Currently, my foundation has successfully helped 5 families with bullying problems, but I've truly helped thousands because of my school presentations. When i get up to speak in front of middle school or high school kids they are all shocked at the bullying that I endured. After telling my story they always want to ask me lots of questions about my ordeal and what I would or could do to help them. I get very excited when the kids that attend my presentation tell me that I've inspired them and that I've changed their lives!

Plan of Action

Putting my foundation together came pretty easy for me because I already had these great people in my corner. The toughest part was coming forward and telling my story. After that it all seemed really easy. When I went before the suffolk county legislators with my story and my idea for a law I was very nervous. I was afraid of people comments towards me. Now I realize that what i did was a great thing because by coming forward I made people aware of the dangers of bullying and the effects that it has on kids and their families. I enjoyed putting my brochure together and all of the details that went into the planning of it. I think that when kids see that I'm coming to their school they get excited because when they see me they ask me for my autograph! I always get a standing ovation at the end of my speach and it makes me feel really good because I feel as though what I said sunk in and I made a good impression. At the end of mt presentation kids always want to meet me and talk to me one on one. It makes me feel really good when they do that because I feel like they only met me for alittle while and they're trusting me with their personel story. I love what I do! I am helping others through a very difficult time in their lives and sheding my skin while I'm at it.
