For a site that conveys a message of support, acceptance, and inclusion, there's an awful lot of BS and just plain arrogance around these forums. I would have thought you'd receive a more positive response from people who seem to have a lot to lose themselves and have likely been on the receiving on of bullying in their lifetimes, but no, all you get is snide, useless comments that belittle others. And on an anti-bullying thread! Oh, the irony. I hope it makes you feel really great about yourself.

I think it was a great post, Photogrrl, and I, for one, welcome it!

Shouldn't every month and every day be an anti-bllying month/day?

Yes! Agreed...just pointing out the video of the news anchor, which I thought was timely, in light of the "official designation" of October as Anti-Bullying Month (in USA anyway)

In support of Bullying Prevention Awareness Month we want to direct attention to the evidence based approaches to prevent bullying developed over fifteen years through federally funded research done by 3C-ISD.

Please feel free to use any of this information if it supports anything you may be doing this month related to bullying prevention or contact us if you would like to interview one of our doctors or researchers.

SELmedia, in collaboration with the 3-C Institute for Social Development, created an online workshop to help educators deal with bullying and identify social isolates (children who are rejected by their peers). The workshop also explores the relationship between social skills and bullying.

This workshop normally sells for $39.95 but you can “purchase” a one week subscription at no cost using the discount code ISOLATE at check out.

There is no credit card necessary to move through the purchase. Use the discount code ISOLATE and P.O. Number ISOLATE at check out.

At the conclusion of the workshop, participants should be able to:
• Identify children who are socially isolated and describe the connection between social isolation and bully and victim behavior.
• Describe the short-term and long-term consequences of social isolation.
• Explain the core social skills all children need to develop to avoid isolation from peers.
• Describe strategies that school personnel can apply to teach and reinforce these core social skills

okay seriously???!!! i am from lacrosse and i grew up watching her. so let me just copy what i reiterated from my facebook. because i am sick and tired of seeing this in the news. and people calling jennifer a "hero". its ridiculous if you ask me.

i have to be honest, i do not agree 100% with this jennifer livingston thing. i believe she is very courageous for standing up to the guy and that does make her a good role model. HOWEVER i believe he had good intentions, and his letter was written respectfully and eloquently. no it is not healthy to be over weight, but no it was none of his business either. people i know with thyroid problems, menopause n injuries still maintain their weight, so can you. and it is not responsibile to show our children unhealthy lifestyle habits. ya'll can hate me for sayin this but im sure there are others out there who agree.

I know we talk about this endlessly and I am sure to see "beating a dead horse" memes on this thread, but I am tired of people (women, in particular) belittling each other for their size. I find MyFitnessPal overall to be a great support site for healthy living...but it seems we still have this need to hurt one another with our words. You can be proud of who you are, what you look like, what your shape is, WITHOUT belittling or insulting someone else. I am trying to live positively and share that with others...so in light of many recent forum threads about whether guys like "curvy" vs. "stick figure" women (paraphrasing) that become nothing but a forum for namecalling and unkindness towards anyone "different:"
