Kind Campaign

Did you know that October is Bullying Prevention Month? Studies show that a child is bullied every 7 minutes.

 

As Miss Greater Derry, I work in the community to promote Kind Campaign. In 2009, Lauren Parsekian and Molly Thompson embarked on a 10,000 mile cross-country journey filming the groundbreaking documentary Finding Kind, which reveals the unspoken truth that as females, more often than not, we are anything but kind to one another. This verbal form of bullying between girls can be just as ruthless as physical bullying.

 

Take a few moments to watch the Finding Kind trailer!

 

 

 

As asserted in their mission statement, “Kind Campaign is an internationally recognized movement, documentary and school program based upon the powerful belief in KINDness, that brings awareness and healing to the negative and lasting effects of girl-against-girl ‘crime.”

 

Kind Campaign is more than an anti-bullying movement. Kind Campaign focuses on creating this atmosphere of KINDness. I am a firm believer in always looking at the positive side of every situation. Focusing on kindness allows us to be positive and uplifting, while fighting to eradicate bullying in the process.

 

CNN released a piece on Kind Campaign which can be found HERE. :)

 

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” -Leo Buscaglia
