Don’t Feed the Bully
On November 18, 2009, Courtney Richie and her Anti Bullying Club participated in a videoconference with Brad Tassell, a comedian for over 18 years and the author of the award winning novel for teens and preteens on Bullying titled “Don’t Feed the Bully”. Brad presents for students, teachers and administrators and has shows throughout the US and world wide. He is also a comedian for Carnival Cruise lines. “Don’t Feed the Bully is a self-help book for pre-teens that is disguised as a hilarious, fictional novel. The club was provided with 30 copies of his book. Brad provided practical advice for the club members on the topic of bullying. He delivered the advice to us in a very humorous way! He provided us with definitions for words such as tattling and bullying. Courtney’s students will take the training they learned from Brad and incorporate it into their anti bullying presentations at the elementary and middle schools. The program was designed to build empathy in students and taught them how to move the bully target away from them. Brad wanted the students to learn to create awareness and responsibility for bullying and violence in school. This was a great presentation!
