SMILEYBOARDS/DISTRIBUTION.

[remaha]

ODM, the idea of getting it on to school websites is brilliant.

HOWEVER, I think you should wait a bit and this is why. DT has just e-mailed Ash's agent and in her e-mail she drew attention to the anti-bullying campaign. You never know, but I think Aisleyne might be prepared to lend her support to the campaign if she sees what you've done. So first things first get all the stuff up on the website quick.

Secondly, even if Aisleyne doesn't throw her weight behind it (and I wouldn't think any the worse of her if she didn't), I think that having to explain what we FAKERS are might dilute the impact of the message. Perhaps we could adopt our other identity for this purpose which was the "Aisleyne Appreciation Society".

Never post without going to the end of the thread||||

DT, I hadnt seen your suggestion when I posted the above.

That sounds like a good idea too. Comments about using the name FAKERS still applies though.

Thoroughly agree with you Remaha...I have as you see made suggestions but i would rather made the ideas but leave it to you and DT to decide what should happen to smileyboards as would,nt want to do the wrong thing....

nod my head to all of the rest of what you say re; fakers etc.....

all the to everything.!!!!! LOL

Love the idea of approaching the new bullying website DT.

Since I originally suggested it would be nice to has Ash on board with the campaign its a big YES to at least trying that one on for size.
The school sites still sounds really cool. My boys are all grown now but I have an aunt and uncle who both work in local schools. I can approach them if we go down that route.

Right! I'll just lie here very still while you all decide whats the best course of action and just hope you all forget Im here for five minutes while I breath into this paper bag!!

If you are still going to go ahead with the schools idea I would love to gets my kids schools involved.
Both of them have already been bullied at school and they are only 6 and seven years old. They were both at the lower primary school in my area and I felt the Headteacher dealt with it all wrong. The bullies were just told to make a card and apologise so you can imagine this had no effect on the bullies behaviour at all. They got to sit and make cards while the bulllied children had to get on with their scholwork. In this school, it appeared to a lot of us parents, that the worse your child behaved the more they were rewarded with daytrips and special breakfast clubs etc.
My eldest is starting the higher primary school tomorrow and I know this school takes a completely different, and in my opinion,
much more serious attitude to the problem.
I am unable to help with the storyboards cos I have absolutely no imagination or ceativity but I would love to get these schools involved in your project.
I know that the largest majority of teachers are very good at dealing with the problem but could I suggest, if this is not too impertinent, that a story could be done which could help these teachers try to understand more how the children are suffering and how they could possibly deal with it in a more constructive way.
Oh and what about one for the parents of the bullied and the bullies because I feel the problem originates mostly from the home and found a lot of these bullies parents were just not interested in what their kids were doing. I feel something should be done while they are still so young because I fear for my kids being bullied and also in case they become the bullies.
