VOTE Today to build confidence, compassion, and courage in our Youth
The Dream Queen Foundation’s signature teen girl program Gals Lead is helping Southern Maryland combat bullying by providing female middle and high school students a safe place to share, get to know themselves, celebrate successes, overcome obstacles, learn from role models, pursue their dreams and ultimately, embrace their value and worth. State Farm has named the Foundation as one of 200 finalists competing for a $25,000 grant to expand its program beyond Great Mills High School to other local area middle and high schools.
Bullying is an age-old problem. Bullying – defined by stopybullying.gov as unwanted, aggressive behavior among school-aged children that involves a real, or perceived power imbalance – includes three types of abuse – emotional, verbal and physical. It is typically repeated over time and research indicates bullying can lower childrens’ self confidence, influence grades, affect mental and physical health and at its worst, lead to suicide, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Bullying is more prevalent in middle and secondary schools because of access and availability to online chat rooms, social media, Internet access and cell phones.
