Violence doesn't end violence, it extends it.

This is great - I am going to spread the message. If this prevents just one child from being bullied it will be worth it, but I think many children are going to benefit from this.

Thank you Wade and Caryn for coming up with this much needed resource.

This is a wonderful idea! Recently my 11yr. old grandson came home from school and told me about a kid a grade older then him who was bullying others at school and how he went to their defense. He is much taller then this other child and he walked over to him and all he did was ask him how he would feel if he ( the grandson) picked on him. The kid quickly walked away.

I am going to check this game out for him and his friends. Hopefully it will pique their interest and they will pass it on to others.
