Any time you are speaking to young people, you must keep in mind that they enjoy humor. One thing we know about teens is that they enjoy a good time and they love to have fun. Students look to make any assignment fun and interesting. So getting a serious point across to them is no different. I have been speaking to youth at school assemblies for awhile now and I know that before I speak to them about serious issues I look for ways to connect and what better way to connect than through laughter. Once...

On May 4, 2011, I was able to visit a couple schools in Kilgore, TX. I spoke to over 300 third graders at Chandler Elementary. One thing I learned from that experience is that school age students know what bullying is and how it makes others feel. Students in elementary school really care about others. I can see on their faces the hurt when I talk about being bullied at school. Some wanted to be on my side. They actually looked like they wanted to give me a hug. When I walked into the Kilgore...

Most educators run away from at-risk students, I run to them. What are signs that a student is at-risk? Since most students are at school, doing an evaluation of the child’s performance would be a quick indication of a problem. Look to see if the student has ever been expelled from a school or relocated due to bad behavior. If they have been suspended and their grades are failing, these are warning signs that a student is at-risk. Have a conversation with the child. If he/she is verbally...

Casey Heynes, a 15 year old had enough. He was constantly getting bullied at school and he finally snapped and let his bully have it. Casey picked up his tormentor and bodyslammed him on the ground. All of this was caught on film and the video has now gone viral. Of course everyone who has ever been bullied sides with Casey for standing up for himself. But so many students around world do not stand up to bullies and constantly get harassed as school. School bullying is a growing problem in America...

Just finished watching a bullying video by J'Rose called Mean Kids. I really like the message in the video and for a 9 year old to sing it to her peers takes a lot of courage. I hope that classrooms everywhere can use this video as a way to engage their students on school bullying. This will be a great way to start a coversation about the subject. Students will not bring up the subject even though it's the elephant in the room but if an adult can facilitate the conversation, student will open...

To the parents of school aged children: Without a doubt, schools are a safe place and they offer your children a place to socialize with other students and school remains to be  a place where young leaders are nurtured to become leaders of tomorrow. With that said every school around the world deals with bullying. The truth is that students pick on each other at school and outside of school. There is no telling how a student is affected by their environment when they are away from school....

Speaking at youth assemblies takes a special set of skills to connect with the youth of today.  Children are faced with an incredible amount of challenges, far more than we could ever imagine when we were kids.  The issues kids in our communities face the range from dealing with peer pressure to participate in criminal activity, bullying, drug abuse and dropping out of school.  A youth speaker can reach out to children to deliver some of the most important messages that will affect their lives...
