Stop the Bull

Stop the Bull is a movement. It is a movement born right here in Sanilac County to educate and change the course of cyber bullying in our communities.

First of all, what is it?

is a movement. It is a movement born in Sanilac County, Michigan to educate and change the course of cyber bullying in our communities. Why are we creating a movement? In the Spring of 2015 the Sanilac County Youth Advisory Council conducted a youth needs survey to assess where youth perceived a need for change. When survey results came back from our local school districts (9th 11th grade), it showed that suicide, depression, and cyber bullying all shared the #4 spot of concern for today's young people. After seeing these results Sanilac County Community Mental Health (SCCMH) stepped up to the plate and said that they wanted to be a driving force in doing something about this issue. With depression and suicide being a directly linked result of cyber bullying SCCMH set off to educate the members of our community about the impact of cyber bullying and ways to . Who do we want to reach? Of course we are focused on our area teens with the movement. But cyber bullying goes down deeper. It is a part of a belief and behavior system that we learn from life experience. Our goal is to educate adults and families alike. We want to start a conversation and create community support for the students who are willing to stand up and so that it doesn't just become a saying or a fad, but a way of life. How can you be involved? Become a part of the movement! Make sure it's something that you personally do and believe in. Post your photo to social media with the simple hashtag . Start a conversation about cyber bullying, what it is, what it does, and how to by either standing up for others or exiting the conversation.

If you ever find yourself overwhelmed, don't hesitate to reach out to someone who can help ease the burden. đź’ś

Sometimes it's just the little things that make a difference to an other person. Give someone a smile, hold a door, say good morning, let them go first, invite someone to sit with you at lunch. What can you do today, where you are, with what you have, to be kind to someone?

BE KIND. Kindness begins with each and every one of us. Sometimes we just have to be reminded. Kindness is easy, contagious, and everyone could use some.
