Bully Proofing You: Improving Confidence And Personal Value From The Inside Out

by Jeanie Cisco-Meth

Overview

"Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom."

Viktor E. Frankl

This book is for you. It is to help as many people as possible live rewarding lives. Everyone can overcome obstacles and become the person they want to be. Middle school and high school are difficult times. They are formative years that set you up for a life of learning and success or oblivion and mediocrity. This time is when you learn to keep moving forward toward your goals, or let others take your dreams away. Bully Proofing You will teach you how you can thrive, not just survive during your life.

"When I was young, I was different. People stuck labels on me when I entered school. I had so many learning disabilities and physical differences that I stood out. I had dyslexia, I couldn't speak well, I was legally blind, I was six feet tall by the eighth grade, I was a cancer survivor...the list goes on. Have you ever been labeled? How did it make you feel?"

"I remember sitting in the classroom with my parents, listening to the teachers predict my dismal future. I had different ideas. I knew I would find a way to succeed. I had a burning desire to prove everyone wrong and make something of myself. I knew deep inside that I could choose my destiny."

This book is all about the choices you make while you are in that space between stimulus and response. It is about how you shape your life with your beliefs and actions. "I'm glad you decided to be part of the solution that is so desperately needed in our nation at this time. We can no longer allow the impact of bullying to take the lives of our loved ones. There is an answer to the pain, and it is Bully Proofing You."
