Former Marine and Martial Arts Instructor Shares 9 Tips That Will Skyrocket Your Child’s Confidence, Develop an “I-Can-and-I-Will” Attitude & Give Them the Physical Tools to Protect Themselves from Bullies and Predators
Dear Parent,
You may not know it, but according to the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta:
- Bullying is the #1 cause of absenteeism in the U.S.
- Bullying has also been linked to higher rates of teen depression and suicide.
- Youth violence is the second leading cause of death between the ages of 10 and 24
- 5,686 young people ages 10 to 24 were murdered – an average of 16 A DAY – in 2005
- Over 720,000 violence-related injuries in young people age 10 to 24 were treated in U.S. emergency rooms in 2006.
- In 2005 nationwide survey, 36% of high school students reported being in a physical fight during the past twelve months.
- Nearly 7% of high school students in 2005 reported taking a knife, gun or club to school in the 30 days before the survey.
- An estimated 30% of kids between 6th and 10th grade report being involved in bullying
You may be asking yourself, “I had no idea that Bullying was this much of a problem! What should I do?”
Don’t worry – there IS a solution - but before I get to it, let me tell you a story about a boy who was the target of a bully and how it changed his life forever…
Skinny, Un-Athletic Band Geek Targeted by a Bully
Junior was a boy in the tenth grade who somehow got targeted by a boy named Ariel. Ariel was the youngest boy from a big family who was often beaten on by his older brothers.
This turned Ariel into an angry, pent-up teenager with a mean streak a mile wide.
Ariel somehow targeted Junior as easy pickings. Junior was small for his age, about 5’ nothing and maybe 120 pounds. He had a big head of curly hair and unless he was with friends, he was very shy.
The only thing he was into was music so he had joined the band, making him the ultimate “Band Geek”.
Coming out of lunch one day, Ariel spotted Junior and started to walk over. They had never met before but Junior knew who he was. Ariel decided that Junior, because he was small, quiet, shy and didn’t carry himself well, would be his next easy victim.
He approached Junior and started in on him, calling him names and pushing him around.
Junior didn’t even know why he became the target…but the bullying started – and got worse and worse every day.
Junior Was So Scared That He Dropped into a Depression
He became so scared and depressed that he’d vary his lunch routine, just to avoid him! Junior was scared because not only was he forbidden to fight for any reason by my parents… but he also didn’t know how!
He COULDN’T have defended himself…even if he had to. He felt helpless, vulnerable and afraid.
Junior approached his Dad about what to do and even though this was back in the ‘80’s, fighting was frowned upon. Back then, it was still about good old-fashioned values.
Like most parents, Junior’s Dad tried to do what he thought was right and teach his son that violence doesn’t solve anything.
His Dad specifically told him it took a bigger man to walk away than it did to fight.
The Problem with “Turning the Other Cheek”…
Junior’s Dad was trying to teach him the virtue of turning the other cheek, but Junior’s cheeks was getting sore!
He pleaded with his Dad; “What do I do? Walking away isn’t helping! Can’t you teach me something to do?”
Dad, thinking he was doing the right thing, told him no. No fighting or he’d get in trouble.
Junior was getting really scared now. He didn’t know how to fight and his Dad not only wouldn’t teach him but he said if he did he would be “in for it” (a spanking).
Then…One Fateful Day…the Final Straw
This went on for weeks. The final straw was when one day, Junior came out of the lunchroom, spotted Ariel, and turned away, pretending not to see him and hoping like heck he hadn’t been spotted.
Nope – it didn’t work. Ariel saw him and said, “Oh good, there he is.” He was actually looking forward to picking on Junior!
He cornered Junior and pushed him into a concrete pillar. He started hassling and threatening Junior – who started to cry.
To this day, Junior still feels the shame of being helpless, scared and humiliated.
Ariel must have liked it because now he really poured it on. If you have ever been bullied, maybe you’ve heard it…
- What are you a big baby?
- Do you want your Mummy and Daddy?
- Whatsa matter, you scared?
All delivered in that wonderful tone that makes you feel about and inch tall.
What Happened Next Was a Blur…
Something inside of Junior snapped.
He had simply reached his limits. He had taken enough.
He went from freaked out to seeing red in an instant. He exploded off the pillar, hit Ariel in the chest with both his hands, and launched him up and backwards into the air.
He even remembers seeing the bottom of Ariel’s sneakers as he flew away from him!
Ariel landed hard on his back, driving all the wind out of his lungs and smacking his head on the concrete.
Time froze. Ariel’s friends were looking down at him; bystanders were looking at Junior. Junior was standing over Ariel, fists clenched tight, chest heaving and tears rolling down his cheeks.
He was thinking about what to do next when he realized what he had done and figured he had best get out of there before Ariel got up or a teacher came along.
Having discovered a newfound bravery, he did what most brave men do… he ran his butt off! He ran to the band classroom where all his friends were and started to shake and cry more.
One of his friends, who was in band but was also on the basketball team and stood an impressive 6’7”, offered to go handle Ariel for Junior. He said no, that he thought he had handled it.
He Was Never Bothered by the Bully Again…
He was right. From that day on, he was never hassled by Ariel again. He steered clear of Junior and later, Junior heard that word had gotten around that Junior was not the type of kid to be messed with.
By Standing Up to the Bully, Junior Got Back His Self-Respect, His Self-Esteem, Drove Away His Depression & Regained His Happiness
That’s a powerful story. You can tell it’s very personal. It’s the type of experience that can change a child forever and remain in their memory. It’s the type of experience that can affect a child in to manhood.
How do I know?
Because that kid…was me.
My name is Harrison Huff and I am a former Marine and 4th Degree Black Belt in the martial arts. Over the past seventeen years, I have helped thousands of people from all walks of life “Take Their Power Back” and stand up for themselves in every aspect of their life.
From kids that were getting picked on in school to women trapped in abusive relationships; from employees being abused by their bosses to adults standing up to family members who use guilt as a weapon, bullying is literally a poison that eats at your self image and self esteem from the inside out.
Bullying DOES NOT Just Happen to Kids…
Adults get bullied, too… but not in the same way as kids.
Adults can get bullied at work. You have heard of the type: the boss that hints that only people who work massive amounts of overtime and sacrifice everything for the job – including time with their family or never taking vacations - will get favorable reviews or promotions.
Adults get bullied in relationships. Tell me if this sounds familiar: one partner uses emotional weapons like guilt or shame to manipulate the other person into doing something they don’t want to do, and then afterwards, the person who gave in feels like a doormat for not standing up for themselves.
Adults can get bullied by co-workers that use intimidation, backstabbing or any number of what I call “office warfare” tactics to get their way.
It doesn’t matter if you are fifteen or fifty, if it is a fistfight or verbal discussion; bullying is bullying, period.
Here is What I Have Discovered from Painful, First-Hand Experience as Well as Seventeen Years of Teaching Others How to Stand Up for Themselves
I discovered that most people “suffer in silence” because they have been pounded into submission by society.
They have been taught things like, “Go along to get along”; they have been cowed by story after story about how you should be “politically correct”, never hurt someone’s feelings or…God Forbid…disagree with someone.
No one wants to stand up to the office bully or abusive boss because they might be labeled “difficult to work with” and end up losing their job.
Parents are afraid to teach their children to protect themselves because of the threat of lawsuits or criminal charges that may arise out of a schoolyard fight.
In short, many people ARE NOT standing up for themselves because they are AFRAID – and FEAR gives off a scent that attracts bullies like blood in the water to a shark.
You and Your Child DO NOT Have to Go Through Life This Way...
I discovered that there are several, very simple things you could do to prevent from becoming the target of a bully and – if you ever were targeted by a bully – how to handle the situation quickly and effectively.
And – in almost all cases – without using violence.
