Bullying is behavior intended to harm or disturb the victim. It can be physical or
emotional and can occur in person, electronically, or indirectly.
If you are a parent, teacher, religious leader, aunt, grandmother, government official, social worker, news reporter, probation officer, lawyer, community leader or tax payer, all of you are asking the same question.

Gun Violence Awareness Month 2009 is the first ever initiative declaring Urban Gun Violence as a National Public Health Emergency Campaign in America.
On Monday June 15, 2009 at 10:00 A.M.-12:00P.M.CTRIBAT Institute for Social Development Inc. will conduct an Interactive violence prevention art workshop “Guns and Bullies.” This violence prevention workshop is the first of its kind in Connecticut. This workshop will address pertinent issues and elements that create the dangerous and destructive atmosphere of Bullying with in the school culture and inappropriate behaviors that inspire interpersonal conflict among youth that transform bullying into acts of urban gun violence.
Using art as a teaching tool, approximately 25 male students of Wexler Grant Elementary school have been selected to participate in this unique workshop. Students will be taught valuable urban life skills on interpersonal conflict. They will then translate their feelings into master pieces of art by painting with acrylic paints on an 8’ by 12” canvas. Their works will then become a traveling art exhibit in Connecticut.
CTRIBAT Institute for Social Development Inc Founder and Executive Director Shafiq Abdussabur stated that in the past 90 days in America, three youths have suffered tragic deaths that were the result of incidents of Bullying. “Gun Violence Awareness Month is the perfect time to introduce this workshop aimed at Bullying and Urban Gun Violence which according to our research goes hand and hand. Urban gun violence has become a National Public Health Emergency and I hope that President Obama takes notice of this virus that is destroying our future leaders of tomorrow!”
