Amazing Local Branding

This is an Intelligencers article I found amazing.  http://www.intelligencer.ca/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2844271

The article is about a new campaign happening in the local area titled

“Respect – Pass it on”.

Loyalist College started this campaign last week and it started with a huge success, being visible everywhere.  Whether you’re across town or in school the message is clear read and understood with many people following it.  The campaign can be seen anywhere/ the campaign runs from November 15-19 to generate awareness for an important issue, which is National Bullying Prevention.

I think this is a good campaign to hold in this town, due to the fact we have so many troubled people.  I have lived in this town for most of my life, and I have never seen so much disrespect.  With the amount of disrespect you see in this area you would think the town was a third world country.  This area desperately needs educations.  Belleville is mostly under uneducated, it's not funny.  With Loyalist College being most likely the only thing that proved this area with true education, I think they are doing an amazing job with this campaign.

Now, I don’t think the world will ever change bullying, it’s been happening since the caveman era.   I was a young kid raised being made fun of my whole life.   I watched kids get bullied every day, as I got bullied.  I never thought about killing myself, I thought about killing the others that are making fun of people, it didn’t make much sense to me to think about killing myself.

I truly think it’s not bullying that needs to be stopped, even as adults we try to keep up with the “jones” and trying to be better than everyone else, it’s called competition for relationships, jobs, careers, and life.  It is education we need, whether it is glasses, braces, race or gender, your clothes or your sexuality, you are who you are.  You can’t change everything and you can’t make everyone love you, even if Obama "the United States or America’s President" cant get everyone to like him.  When someone attempts to bully you, its only bullying if you let it be bullying.  When people called me four eyes, I gave them a gold star of be observant.

Overall, respect is huge, but in the end you are what you are, and education will get you where you need to go.  If you didn’t let them bug you, they would stop wasting their time; they do it because they have their own problem they can’t deal with.

You will not stop bullying, the tables will turn, the bully becomes the one being bullied, and the one that gets bullied becomes the bully.  In the end, it is really the education of the individuals that you laugh at, and remember the one that laugh last laughs, loudest and best.
