This book was written to bring to light the catastrophic damage that bulling can cause. It was written for people of all ages, races, creeds, and sexual orientations.

Bullying has no boundaries; it is blind and doesn't care about the physical, emotional, and potentially fatal damage it can inflict. Those of you out there who bully others are the weakest and most cruel among us. Those who bully have no conscience or moral fabric.

The Bully Pen was created to illicit a response from reasonable and loving people! It was made to make you think about the causes and effects of bullying.

Every day, all of us see bulling in one form or another! We just don't recognize it! We see it in our schools, on the buses, in our workplace, in our homes, and we see it virtually everywhere.

If my words and this book are going to have an impact and meaning, then you must not only read it but share it with everyone around you. We can stop bullying. This is an epidemic that we can eradicate from society; it just takes each of us to do it!

We can do this one person at a time. We have the ability to change; each of us can influence our families, friends, and even our communities. The danger of bullying is overwhelming!

We have enough hatred in our world. We can all do better. God is on our side if we just look to him again. This book is a wake-up call to all of us to teach our kids love (over hate), respect, peace, and most of all, kindness. This is what my grandchildren would want, and if Patrick Kholmann was reading this, I'm sure he would want the same thing too!

God bless you and God bless America!
