I am starting a organization here in bklyn for bullying and a project to take a stand against bullying. My name is Lori Paige and I would love to talk to someone in your organization to see and learn how you set up your program and got your campaign started so that it could better help me. My email address is dolphin21lover@gmail.com. I would love to attend next year for I found out to late this year. My quest to help stop bullying was when my now 18 year old daughter tried to commit suicide at the age of 7 years old then went into a depression after again being bullied at the age of 12. She is gotten past it and helps me to get the word out about bullying. Now her brother is having bullying issues at that started at the age of 9 in the 4th grade and now at the age of 12 in the 7th grade. We must put this madness to an end. Stop Bullying and Spread Love
