Pancreatic cancer affects roughly 1 in 65 men and women.  Luciano Pavaraotti, Patrick Swayze, Chief Justice Ruth Ginsburg, and Steve Jobs all lost their life from pancreatic cancer.  In the last week it was reported by the “respected” Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, as saying that eating 1.8 ounces of processed meat every day — the equivalent to one sausage or two rashers of bacon — increases the risk by 19 percent, and the risk goes up if a person eats more.

In regard to the risks for pancreatic cancer smoking is one of the worst, increasing the chance of this deadly disease by 74 percent.  But even eating 100g a day of processed meat ( a small burger) increases the risk by 38% while 150g a day raises it by 57 percent.

Looking at what we eat is important for our health.  We have just completed the holiday season when many of us do not eat in our normal fashion.  But now is a good time to revisit our eating habits and make adjustments to better our health, short term and long term.

Bully Prevention Partners gives some insight on who is most likely to become a target of a bully. While everyone can become a target, it is like a bully can smell out certain characteristics that say to them, “this person can be my victim’. Learn what they are here and in the coming days we will discuss more about the target / victim of bullying behavior.

What Should I Do If My Child Is A Bully?

In day 12 we answer the questions on the child displaying bullying behavior.  Should you punish them or is that counter to our ultimate goal of creating peace.  What do they need to practice and learn so they can stop the bullying behavior and have the courage to stand up for others?

Join Bully Prevention Partners as we tackle this issue with others.

There are some simple questions that you can ask yourself and your children no matter their age, to determine what beliefs you hold and see if your beliefs promote or prevent bullying?  Find them on Bully Prevention Partners or hear them on this video message.

Children can be taught important bullying prevention skills which are also important life skills. They can be used as a guide to solving social problems and help them to know how to be assertive while showing empathy.

Besides hurting others, bullies damage themselves, short term and long term each time they hurt others. The effects last long into adulthood and include some shocking findings. This is Day 9 in our series examining the effect of bullying behavior on the bully.

For 31 days we are looking at the subject of bullying and bullying prevention. Today we are looking at the differences in age groups, including how we may see warning signs in preschool children. Identifying these signs gives us the opportunity to work on social skills and empathy at a young age.

Join Bully Prevention Partners if you are interested in creating a culture of peace in our schools and community.

Today we look at an overview of the three parties involved in bullying. In the next few days we will look at each party in detail along with what the effects of bullying can have on everyone involved. Statistics show that by the time a child gets to middle school they have all seen, heard of, been the target of bullying or been the bully. The effects of this is important for all of us to be aware of.

Cyberbullying is the fastest growing bullying method for students as young as 6 and 7 years old.  Learn to protect your children.

I have started to record 31 messages about bullying and posting them on the Bully Prevention Partners website.  The fourth one posted today talks about the reasons children give for waiting a long time or not report at all the bullying that might be taking place to them.  For the rest of this month we will discuss this subject and I encourage everyone who is interested in this subject to join in the conversation on creating a culture of peace in our schools and community.
