Win a bag of mystery items from One Direction and Office Depot
September is National Bullying Prevention Month.
A couple years ago a child from my son’s school committed suicide because she was bullied. It was the first time I have gotten a first hand live view of what it is to know someone who lost a child to suicide. It happens all over the world and has gotten wide spread attention in the United States. We know its wrong and we always talk about how it needs to stop. The thing is, we cannot stop teen suicide completely, it’s just not going to happen but we CAN stop bullying by fighting the cause. I feel strongly that as bloggers we have a social media reach that can reach millions. We can fight this cause and win.
To bring awareness, One Direction is joining with Office Depot. One Direction has challenged its fans to help raise $250,000 for the Office Depot Foundation’s anti-bullying education efforts. Part of the money is being raised by selling exclusive 1D + OD products, including notebooks, bracelets, and nail polish. Each item encourages tweens and teens to exhibit positive attributes. And each attribute is tied to a color and a One Direction member. There’s nice (light blue), confident (purple), unique (green), original (orange), and true (navy).
You can check out the full list of products here. A portion of the limited edition product sales will go toward the Office Depot Foundation’s anti-bullying education program.
Speaking of the products, we are joining with Drugstore Divas to give one lucky reader a tote bag filled with One Direction and Office Depot items.

All of them are important in many different ways. I tell my kids to be their own person but be true. Don’t let other guide you to a place you should not be. Its not always easy for them or me but we try.

Unique. Be yourself, because you are unique.

Confident because if you are not confident in yourself than no will be. Confidence chances everything about a person, how you communicate with others, your ability to get what you want from life is on in how you show yourself in confidence.

Confident is the word I feel is most important. We have to teach our children to be confident in who they are. There are always going to be bullies, and it’s my job as a parent to raise my child with a sense of self-worth, so that even though someone might say something that hurts one of my kids, they feel important enough that it doesn’t stick in their emotions.
