Keep
your Own Mind, It’s Cool to be Kind, is the theme of
this year's Cool to be Kind Day to be held on 19th November
2008.
This year we are focussing
on an anti-peer pressure message to promote individuality,
independence and respect for others.
Group thinking can achieve great results but it also responsible
for much of the bullying and hurt that is caused to children
at school..
‘If I am
going to sing like everyone else, then I do not need to sing
at all,’ said Billie Holiday, American Jazz Singer of
the 30s.
Act
Against Bullying would like to encourage all its supporters
this Cool to be Kind Day to stand up against negative peer
pressure. Ask yourself, if this is something I am not personally
comfortable with, then why am I doing it?
To

resources . Many thanks for your support.
