Cool Kind Kid – An Anti-Bullying Organization to Emulate

 

Bullying is an unfortunate fact of life in our modern society. When you hear about bullying in the news, a solution to stop bullying before it happens is almost never offered. Cool Kind Kid has dedicated its resources to create an Anti-Bullying Program to help give children and teachers the tools to combat bullying in school and in social settings. The problem that they have identified is that schools instead have a reactive approach to bullying instead of being proactive and preventing the behavior, to begin with. To this effect, Cool Kind Kid teaches children of all ages that is it cool to be a kind kid and you don’t need to put others down to feel better about yourself.

Cool Kind Kid provides a variety of materials for both teachers and parents to use to help teach good manners to students, with their award-winning Social Skills Activities for kids. This includes books, games, and workbooks, all available for purchase on their site. They have an entire curriculum planned to help educators with everything from bullying prevention to etiquette rules. They firmly believe in the rule that you need to treat others the way you want to be treated.  

This wonderful organization has also partnered with World Wide Motion Pictures Corporation in promoting the feature film Time for a Champion, which portrays the reality of bullying in a high school setting, especially towards immigrant children. This film is unique because it was produced by Pharr-San Juan-Alamo, PSJA, a school district in Texas. This school district allows a student to get a head start on college courses in a high school environment, one of them being film production. The film is scheduled to come out in February 2017, to coincide with International Stand up to Bullying Day, which is on the twenty-fourth.

End Bullying with The Anti-Bullying Movement and TIME FOR A CHAMPION

 

Bullying is not a drop in the pan: Nicholas Welch wants to make it a movement.

With the vision of starting a nonprofit that would help eliminate bullying among younger generations, Welch founded his nonprofit organization, The Anti-Bullying Movement.

“ I wanted to give back to the world, and let bullies know that it is not okay,” Welch said.

The Louisiana-based organization is fairly local, but Welch hopes to expand it across the nation, and partnering with World Wide Motion Pictures Corporation in the upcoming release of the inspirational feature film Time for a Champion is one more way to accomplish that.

Welch believes that educating students and teachers is the best way to end bullying since such negative treatment can lead to major self-confidence issues, depression, and suicide in the long term. However, he recognizes that bullying, unfortunately, is not limited to children, but can continue into adult interactions and is at times beyond the educator’s reach.

“Workplace bullying is not okay and should be dealt with by human resources,” Welch states. “Bullying can happen at any age and should be properly addressed.”

What should you do? Welch encourages any witness of bullying to report it to a teacher, parent, or, in the case of adult bullying, to human resources.

“Bullying is not okay and has serious side effects,” Welch said.  “Be kind to one another.”

Many are eager for the release of Time for a Champion, a film concerning a bullied teen, who rises above her tormentors and grows through her difficult circumstances. The film is scheduled to release on February 24th, which is International Stand up to Bullying Day.

STAND FOR THE SILENT an Anti-bullying organization

 

Bullying is a cultural epidemic that has been going on for ages, and it isn’t just something seen in the movies. Bullying affects people of all ages in a number of different ways and its effects on them can be long-lasting. Whether it be cyber bullying, physical, verbal, impulsive, pressure, and even corporate bullying, it can be hard for someone to stop and take action.

In schools across the country, one in five students is a victim of bullying. Kids who watch others be bullied and don’t step in often act this way because of fear. They may feel guilty and powerless for not doing anything about it. This is where Stand For The Silent comes into action.

Stand for the Silent is an organization that was started in 2010 by students at Oklahoma State University after they heard the story of Kirk and Laura Smalley’s son, Ty. At only eleven years of age, he had been bullied for two years. After getting suspended for retaliating against his bully, Ty took his own life. Kirk and Laura’s mission is to continue to change kids’ lives by bringing awareness from their story, as well as offering tools and education to help prevent another tragedy like this one from happening to a child and their family. Since 2010, they have reached over 1,308,000 kids in 1,210 schools across the country.

World Wide Motion Pictures Corporation is partnering up with Stand For The Silent for National Bullying Prevention Month, both supporting the release of the film Time for a Champion. Together, we believe that each and every single individual has a valuable contribution to make in the world and deserves to feel loved, included, and treated with respect. If you want to participate in this movement we encourage you to do so and Take The Pledge.

Revisit STRANGER THINGS this Halloween

 

It’s the spookiest time of the year and it is hard for us not to reminisce about one of the hottest sci-fi horror shows of Summer 2016. When the government starts performing some lab tests in secrecy and a small town boy goes missing, we’re usually in for a fishy scenario yet thrilling plot for a show. A mysterious sci-fi horror, with a retro feel, throwing it back to 1983, Stranger Things injected new life to a generally predictable genre. The root of their success was derived from the little things that they did throughout the show. With a constant flow of references to some of our favorite and most memorable 80’s movies such as E.T., Star Wars, Alien, and plenty more, it was hard not to feel a sense of nostalgia and reminisce about the past. With a more than competent cast, beautiful cinematography, and an engaging plot which was well-paced throughout the show, Stranger Things did not disappoint and had fans asking for more.

Now if you felt that there were still some questions that were left on the table unanswered, or if the eight-episode season just seemed too short to fully immerse yourself in the show, worry not because your wishes have come true, my friend. Stranger Things is now approved and working towards a second season, and the producers have mentioned that it would be more of a sequel to the first season rather than a continuation of the current storyline. This should allow for explanation and revelation of some of the mysteries that were left unanswered by the end of season one.

If you enjoyed this thrilling horror series, go check out one of WWMPC’s own thrillers in the form of a mysterious horror film that is Real Killers, where the James brothers are on the loose again, out and about trying to claim new victims.

Community Matters an anti-bullying organization

 

World Wide Motion Pictures Corporation is happy to announce its partnership with the organization, Community Matters. Community Matters and WWMPC are working together in celebration of the film Time For a Champion. This film will be competing in numerous film festivals around the world and touches the growing issue of bullying. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Community Matters, as well as many organizations throughout the US and abroad.

In the past decade, our country has invested more than $10 billion in school safety. This money has been spent on an ‘Outside-In Approach’ which focuses on the authority of adults for safety. This approach uses measures such as metal detectors, security personnel, and very strict rules. Even with these measures, many kids still get bullied today. In the beginning, Community Matters was focused on youth development and bullying prevention but is now a consulting and training organization. There are more than one thousand schools, agencies, and organizations across thirty states that Community Matters has worked with.

The mission of Community Matters is to get students and adults to become more active in creating schools that are inclusive and safe. Instead of using the “Outside-Inside” approach, they focus on the “Inside-Out Approach,” which focuses on the interpersonal dynamics of students. Community Matters focuses on four core elements: building relationships, being student-centered, utilizing restorative practices, and changing behavior through social norms.
