Bullying has become a huge issue for children of all ages. It comes in many different forms, especially physical, social and verbal. It crosses many boundaries most of us growing up in years past never had manage. Teaching your children and grandchildren how to deal with bullies is a necessity today and the folks from Bazooka Brands and the WWE are here to help.
If you live in the New York City area, Bazooka Candy Brand’s Juicy Drop and WWE are hosting a special “Dare to Test Your Limits” party at Dylan’s Candy Bar in NYC on Wednesday, July 2nd, 2014
At the “Dare to Test Your Limits” party, WWE’s Santino Marella and Juicy Drop’s official luchador, Señor Sour, are bringing the action to kids to help them push their boundaries a bit further and stand up against bullying. Kids will train to conquer their fears through Juicy Drop’s Juicador Training Camp and use their new found mastery to push their limits as they take on the “Wheel of Dares” – hosted by WWE Superstar Santino Marella – for the chance to win candy, prizes, and more.
The afternoon culminates at the Anti-Bullying Champion Station where kids can pledge to “dare” to stop bullying with Champions Against Bullying, a non-profit committed to creating a society where every child has the opportunity to develop, learn and thrive in an environment without fear, without violence and without limitation. Additionally, for each person who attends the event, Bazooka Candy Brands will donate $1 to Champions Against Bullying.
If you are in the area, stop by and have some fun!
WHEN: Wednesday, July 2, 2014 Event Begins: 3:00pm

I was bullied as a child, and I hope my children never have to go through it. I would tell them though that it does get better, and usually people bully because they aren’t happy with themselves and they should pity their bulliers.
We had a bullying incident and the teacher and principal spoke with the boy’s parents and it stopped. (thankfully)
My son had problems with a bully on the bus. I wanted him to try to Handel it himself. Stand up for himself so we talked about what he should say to the bully, who he should tell. This did not work so we talk to the bus driver and to the other child’s parents. luckily they were understanding and they boys got to together and worked out their problems and now are friends.
The child that I have taken care of for many years got bullied a lot because he is autistic, and it is very hard on him. He has even had to have counseling for it.
My parent’s had to deal with my 2nd grade bully. They spoke to the teacher but not much was done, this was back in the early 1980’s.
My daughter did, but my son was always taught to protect her. Once he stepped in, nobody bothered her.
We have not had to deal with bullies yet. I hope we do not have to deal with any anytime soon.
My husband and i have had to deal with bullies however thankfully our children have not.
we are lucky and have never had any sort of problem.

we haven’t had to deal with bullies yet, but we will defend ourselves and stand up for our rights if we ever encounter a bully!
liked fb post Do we have any Peppa Pig fans here? If so, you will want to come on over and enter this giveaway!
No thankfully my kids have never had that problem. I feel really bad for the families that do deal with it. I believe it all starts with the bullys parents because if my kid was doing that to someone you bet they would lose everything..xbox,phones you name it..I would never tolerate my kids treating others badly!
Actually the kid across the street ended up being a huge bully – threatened to kill my daughter – he actually got suspended and a restraining order issued and he moved with his grandparents to keep him away. Don’t have that problem anymore. As he grew, he continued so ended up getting put in prison!

no bully problems yet
I was bullied a lot as a kid, but I just ignored it and it made me stronger today.

Wehave been lucky enough to avoid them, but my girlfriend’s son has not been so luck.
Although I have not had to deal with this problem YET with my own child, when I was little I was bullied constantly at school. It was because of my hairy legs, and being a girl. I never told anyone because back then, it wasnt a huge thing like it is now. However, I think it would have helped my self image, had I spoken to someone about my problems.
We haven’t had any problems.
We haven’t had an issue yet.

My son was in special class so the regular kids thought that meant free game. The school helped him befriend some older popular kids and that helped a lot.

No we have been pretty fortunate.
My son was upset during a game of dodgeball. I spoke with the teachers and administration at his school, and things have been wonderful since.
Fortunately, we have not dealt with any bullies
We had a bully issue on the bus that got addressed by the principle .
I remember getting bullied because I was starting at a new school but as time went by I fit in. I am soooooooo glad that I went to school way back when I did and not now with cell phones, FaceBook and all the other junk on the Internet.
I try to reinforce their positive abilities and attributes. Reminding them that bullying isn’t true. The bully just wants attention. In some cases, action needs to be taken where the school gets involved. I’m glad that more and more organizations and celebrities are standing up against this.
My grandson enjoys bazooka gum and candies. Every Friday and Monday night, my grandson (6 yrs. old) and I watch WWE. He watches it to the very end, but I usually end up falling asleep!
