YoungGents Word of the Week.

President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama will be  launching  a campaign about bullying on “Facebook” tomorrow, as a way to recognizing the growing issues across America of the problems of bullying. We see bullying done in different forms everyday in our schools and class rooms. What is being done about it? How can we as young men stop the dilemma?  You can make the change and be the change toward making a better life for you and others.

The first way is by: If anyone is bullying you, let someone know
The second way is by: If someone bump into you, say excuse me, even if it was not your fault

As young men we must remain activate, somewhat pro-activate towards our goals. Look within yourselves and see what your interests are and, the possibilities can lead you. I want you all to have more then what our parents has ever had or dreamed. Walk the path that many have walked ahead of you. There are people that want to help you and extend out a hand. Take it openly and honesty.   
Be you but also have fun!  Stay out of trouble.

The word of the week, is a form of communications between our young men of now and tomorrow. If you like to send in a quote or a story please submit to deason.younggents@gmail.com
