Some Great Anti-Bullying Games!
I found some really cool anti-bullying games and wanted to give a review here.
The first is S-Team Hero and gives the player a variety of scenarios in how to stand up to bullies without using violence. The game is fun and has several episodes to complete. It is best played with audio on. The site can be accessed at http://www.teamheroes.ca/website/play.html
The second game is called Beat the Bully and while it is a lot shorter then the previous game, it is really addicting. The object is simply to reach the end of the game before the bully. You do this by answering questions correctly and rolling the dice to move ahead. Sounds boring, huh? Well, there are all sorts of obstacles and the music is CATCHY! Give it a try at http://www.nspcc.org.uk/kidszone/bullingGameIndex.htm
Fighting, running away from, or giving into bullies means they win. There are other ways to take a stand and not use violence. These games are good tools to help us learn those ways.
Have fun!

Unfortunately, terrorism of the sort witnessed at Columbine appears to be the only sort of behavior the bully loving public responds to. Could people be any more stupid?
Sad, but true. I often wonder how far removed we as a species are from the blood-thirsty horde at the Roman Coliseum. Thank you for your comment.
