Colorado House approves anti-bullying bill

The Colorado House of Representatives on Tuesday approved a bill that would reduce incidents of bullying in Colorado public schools.

If passed by the full legislature, the bill — HB-1254 — would clearly define bullying, create a state grant program to which schools can apply in order to fund bullying prevention programs, and require each school district to adopt a comprehensive, evidence-based anti-bullying policy.

The measure, which is co-sponsored by Representatives Sue Schafer and Kevin Priola, would overhaul current state anti-bullying guidelines for schools which would include sexual orientation and establish a state government organization to raise money for anti-bullying programs.

The measure requires that the state’s school districts implement programs to train teachers and create databases about bullying incidents in schools.

Casey Heynes - the bully victim who fought back

Casey Heynes became a youtube sensation recently when, after being bullied for most of his days in high school, he stood up for himself and turned the tables on a bully.

I personally applaud him for his courage to say "enough" to the bully who wouldn't leave him alone. I went through a lot of this in school and wish I had turned things around the way this young guy did.

In the clip below, he gives an interview describing how he suffered being bullied for years, contemplated suicide and finally how he found the strength to stand up to one of his bullies.



Good for Casey. I don't condone violence, but he gives hope to everyone who's ever been bullied that the day will come where the courage and confidence come together to say "enough." I think he's a hero and an inspiration.

What happens when a bully just won't stop...

This happened in Australia.

The larger boy, Casey, has apparently been bullied much of his life in high school. Watching the video, he clearly doesn't want to fight.

I understand, however, that it is Casey that got suspended.

I'm betting the smaller boy who is the bully thinks twice before picking on someone again.
