love,romance and relationship

It has been a number of years that the fourth week of January has been the official No Name-Calling Week. In case no one has noticed, name-calling is as serious a problem as ever. No Name-Calling Week not only does no good in solving the problem of name-calling, it can only make the problem worse while weakening children emotionally. After several years of these annual weeks, why are more kids than ever committing suicide because they can't handle being called names? Six years ago, in January 2006, I wrote an article about No Name-Calling Week week. I am reprinting it below, with some minor editing, as it is even more relevant today than ever.

 

The Folly of "No Name-Calling Week"

January 23 through 27 was designated national "No Name Calling Week." I don't think it was the intention of the planners, but No Name-Calling Week will guarantee that anti-bully consultants will keep the money rolling in for years to come.
