The topic of bullying is something I am very passionate about. My son was bullied all last year and while it was extremely difficult to deal with, I never gave up fighting for him. While I am going into this school year with confidence that it will be a much better one, I fully plan on fighting for all children being bullied. One of the ways I plan on fighting is utilizing a Facebook page that I started for parents in our school district to discuss the topic of bullying in our schools. From there I was contacted by our superintendent to be apart of a committee for the district to start a district wide character program, which I am very excited about because I think we need to focus on the positives with children and by empowering them to make good choices, I am confident that we will see less bullying issues.
Secret Clinical Strength has developed their “Mean Stinks’ Clinical Strength deodorant, which will hit shelves nationally in September, but it is available right now in the P&G e-store! This campaign has made it their mission to bring an end to girl-to-girl bullying by inspiring girls to “gang up” on good. I love this mission! Like I said before, anytime we can focus on the positive…good things will happen! The U.S. Department of Justice report shows that 30% of girls in grades 6-12 in the 2009 and 2010 school year were bullied. Secret wants to help put an end to that.
Secret will be donating $1.00 from each Mean Stinks Clinical Strength sold to Girls on the Run to fund their girl empowerment program to prevent mean behavior before it starts! My children’s elementary school has both Girls on the Run and Boys on the Run and it is a great program to help boost self esteem while training our boys and girls to run a 5k at the end! Secret is encouraging girls around the country to take the Mean Stinks Pinky Swear in a show of peace & solidarity to keep mean out of their group of friends before heading back to school!
Check out the Mean Stinks Facebook page where you can:
- Determine what role Secret plays in ending mean behavior
- Identify the different types of bullies
- Take the drama free pledge
- Make the Mean Stinks Pinky Swear and more!
Secret Mean Stinks Clinical Strength will be available in Fearlessly Fresh scent at select food & drug and mass retailers nationwide, 1.6 oz. for $7.99 – $9.99 MSRP.
I personally liked this product. I don’t know that I necessarily need the Clinical Strength form of deodorant, but I have to tell you, when it was close to 100 degrees this past weekend and I was sitting in the sun for over 4 hours at my kids football games, I smelled just as fresh at the end of the day, as I did when I got to the game!
