We at MikeGranata.com are so excited to announce a new campaign with the sole purpose of spreading the word that bullying of any sort whether it is online, verbal, discriminatory, it is WRONG, and it is hurting our children! During the past few years I've sat back and saw so many young children take their own lives because they were not "accepted" for what ever the reason was. "I'm not pretty enough" or "They don't like me because I'm gay" should not be a reason why anyone would do anything to hurt themselves.
The facts are that there are alot of social media like Facebook.com that has applications to rate how pretty one is, or how much people like one another based on popularity. These social media outlets have great influence on our youth, and it is our job to be MENTORS and spread the word that it is OKAY to be whoever you are! That is why through various fundraisers, and public speaking events, I have committed to STARTING A CHANGE! I am asking you all to please join the mailing list for upcoming events, and for more info on how you can participate. For right now as this program is still in its early stages, I have set up a donation link. I have committed to match all donations on this site by 100% as a celebration of this campaign. Please feel free to message with any comments or suggestions, as well as any thing you might want to help out with. Thank you all for your support in stopping bullying and protecting our children! -Mike Granata Founder Mikegranata.com for the fight against Bullying. |
