I used to be a in that field of helping women and children......it is a huge problem.....particularly, since victims when they are in the situation, do not usually speak up or look for help......i'm very happy that we finally are addressing this shadows, sending a message that it is ok to speak up and it is ok to point fingers for those who took or trying to take advantage of our trust or life situation.

I wish my fellow AR members who posted great comments here worked in my firm - we have a few too many bullies that run around, unchecked. 

Kids are so much smarter than adults at times. This story about the pink shirts warms my heart.

    A good old-fashioned beat down is more effective than wearing pink shirts.  At least, that's how we did it when I was in school.

I would shut down any bullying I seen on the spot. Then I would probably have a heart to heart talk with the person being bullied.

I had no idea, Tim. NO ONE and I mean NO ONE would have the nerve to bully me. I come from school of thought that if you want to go to war with me be prepared to lose and know that I won't take prisoners. And people sense that when they meet me. I had a buyer's agent working for me once who was bullied by another agent in town (he was kind of know for this). Once I got through having a few choice words with him he never tried it again with anyone on my team.

I take a different approach.  I see it as a part of growing up.  My advice (which I wish I took growing up) is to kick the bully's arse.  Knock them down a few pegs, especially publicly, and their bullying days will be over.
