And I will so NOT be crying because I'm hosting my first blog party!
I could not be more excited about it.
To get everyone up to speed, if you haven't read these two posts yet go ahead and do that now. We'll wait for you.
Blog Against Bullying Part 1: BullycideReady to continue? Okay.
Blog Against Bullying Part 2: I Was A Victim
If you haven't caught on yet, bullying is a really big issue in my book. And I want to do something about it. I'm a blogger on a mission.
Oh, and I want your help.
To get it, I'm hosting the most fabulous blog party this blog has ever seen!
How does a blog party work exactly?
Between now and party-time if you want to participate enter your info in the Mr. Linky at the bottom of this page. On the day of the party post your very own blog party post. Your post can be about anything! I encourage you to blog about your experience with bullying, but you could also post about your best friend, your favorite recipe to eat with a group of friends, or share some of your favorite photos from a recent family vacation. It's completely up to you. After your post is up and running, come back here and visit the other partiers listed on the Mr. Linky and comment comment comment!
Bullying is about power and pushing (sometimes literally and other times figuratively) others down. A blog party, though, is about support and friendship. Comment and follow other blogs and who knows? You may even end up with a new BFF blog pal.
Oh wait...before you go. Did I mention the GIVEAWAYS?!
I am so not beyond bribing you to help me spread the word about and against bullying.
We have some AWESOME giveaways in store for all of you! I'm talking gorgeous artwork, beautiful handmade prizes, amazing jewelry, and even a nice piece of electronic equipment.
There are three ways to win:

So a quick review because I don't want anyone confused about what is going on.
- Enter your info in the Mr. Linky letting us all know you're planning to party with us! (Tweeters (if you don't have a blog) leave a comment with your Twitter name letting us know you'll be joining us as well.)

I left my link and 100% love the cause. I was bullied as a kid until age 17 in school, even lost half a finger to it at age 13. I am working on a new site just born from the very topic of bullying.

I hope to see you there Yummy Mummy! I can't wait to post up to yours too. I was bullied in HS and still have problems dealing with it. This might even be healing for me. So thank you.
What a great blog party and for a great cause! Thanks for helping me celebrate my SITS day on Monday!
A wonderful idea! Looking forward to participating!
I sure do hope more people link up! I am gonna start advertising it on my Friday Follow post. It's such a good cause and needs attention.
I'm going to post this on both my blogs! whoohoo!
Count me in! I am grabbing your button right now and will post about in the next few days.
Oops! I forgot to leave my twitter name, @IFOverachievers too
l be blogging & tweeting this.
I was bullied in school as a kid, and have had it happen with/as an adult as well. It really sucks either way, and I'm glad to see people becoming aware that it is a serious problem and shouldn't be tolerated.
My Twitter ID is @MamaRants
I am really looking forward to this blog party. It's something we recently went thru with my son and I think it's going to be a great opportunity to spread the word about bullying!
Count me in! I went through this and I am 100% in this cause.
Thanks for hosting!
Don't ask me why I stupidly entered my email address in the name box on Mr. Linky--I'm having a rough morning. LOL But I linked up and will be posting for sure. I have a big beef with bullying.
