My friends, First of all, your efforts to promote the campaign to call for the nightmare of Bullying/bullycide to end and give our youth justice, has NOT GONE UNNOTICED and let me tell you friends, I cannot thank you enough. I am pleased to report that 1,554 have signed, and I also want to report that tomorrow night, I am going to be on a show with a lady named Melissa Hill called "Raw talk" on LaTalkRadio channel 1 and I hope you will get a chance to listen in live. The topic tomorrow night IS ABOUT the campaign itself and the stories of people who were bullied, etc. This is a time of unprecedented historic urgency to promote this campaign. As it is the 2nd day of World Autism Awareness Month, I hope you will take the time to understand why I am asking for your support to promote this petition. You are about to get a shocking reason why: The statistics according to the PACER NBPC Are disturbing and alarming Students with disabilities are much more likely to be bullied than their nondisabled peers. Although only 10 U.S. studies have been conducted on the connection between bullying and developmental disabilities, all of these studies found that children with disabilities were two to three times more likely to be bullied than their nondisabled peers. One study shows that 60 percent of students with disabilities report being bullied regularly compared with 25 percent of all students. Bullying affects a student’s ability to learn. Many students with disabilities are already addressing challenges in the academic environment. When they are bullied, it can directly impact their education. Bullying is not a harmless rite of childhood that everyone experiences. Research shows that bullying can negatively impact a child’s access to education and lead to: school avoidance and higher rates of absenteeism decrease in grades inability to concentrate loss of interest in academic achievement My friends, these statistics are just absolutely appalling and frightening. But there is hope. Because of people like you, and me, who can stand up, speak up and do what is right, the consequences don't have to be tragic. However, reporting it and suspending youth who harass people. The laws must be made more tougher and to show the consequences of what Bullying based on Gender Preference, Nationality, challenge, etc. of any kind can ultimately lead to, the tragic conclusion...Bullycide. This is why I began this petition more than 6 years ago and with your help we can achieve the goal to give our youth the rights of justice against bullying and bullycide. Together we can finally give families of Bullycide victims finally STRONG TRUE JUSTICE against those who did the youth harm by bullying the effect of their causes. I hope you will join my campaign and to help the future leaders of america be no longer silenced or be ashamed. We can lift their eyes towards the future. Let's win together Sincerely Christopher Gagliardi Petition Founder Give the Youth The Rights for Justice Against Bullies
