Beat Bullying
The purpose of our venture is to tackle and resolve bullying.
We will be running workshops in the North East of England in schools and libraries in Second Life. TSL Residents will be able to attend the meetings, workshops and discussions in Second Life with the teens in the school and libraries.
I have been thinking about doing something like this in Second Life and it is a big problem in real life today. I think this program will be successful. It will give teens a better understanding of bullying and how to tackle the problem also learn some self esteem lessons and other things and will try and help it.
Re: Beat Bullying
I love how you are combining teens from your home town with teens from TSL! What are some workshop topics you are considering?
Re: Beat Bullying
I think the topic of bullying is an important one. I look forward to learning more about what you want to teach and how you want to teach it.
Also, this was not clear to me: "We will be running workshops in the North East of England in schools and libraries in Second Life."We will be running workshops in the North East of England in schools and libraries in Second Life." Are the schools in England or Second Life. If they are in England I am not clear how the teens from SL are involved.
Finally, this connects with mental health issues, but I would love to see you be more specific about which ones (e.g. you mentioned self-esteem).

Hello Team, Beat Bullying Venture.
I'm glad to take part in doing a venture for the community and i'm glad to be part of this team beat bullying. I do agree myself and my team with the second life community can get a better understanding about Bullying as its a big issue in todays life both at school and outside or even throughout our lifetime, so I hope this makes a difference to the community and helping it go down the right path.
