Want to Hear Some Frank Talk on Bullying?
This just came on my radar so sorry for the late notice.
On Monday, the 29th, Town Hall is presenting Emily Bazelon of Slate (and author of Sticks and Stones) in a discussion with Dan Savage of The Stranger (and creator of the It Gets Better program) about "Defeating the Culture of Bullying."
I think it will be fascinating to listen in. I do want to note that Dan can speak quite frankly so you are warned. From Town Hall:
Growing up has never been easy, but with the rise of the Internet and social media, bullying has taken on new, complex, and insidious forms, and suddenly childhood is exponentially more challenging—as parents, educators, and even elementary-age kids know all too well. Slate senior editor Emily Bazelon, a leading voice on the social and legal aspects of childhood drama and author of Sticks and Stones, returns to Town Hall after hosting 2012’s sold-out Political Gabfest to examine the ever-shifting landscape of kid-to-kid meanness and its sometimes-devastating consequences. In conversation with The Stranger editorial director Dan
