THE CAVE WRESTLING GYM ANTI-BULLYING CAMPAIGN   The Cave Wrestling Gym is not only a facility that teaches youth and adults the necessary skills and fundamentals of wrestling from beginner to competitive wrestler, it is also a place that will provide a host of other skills training and programs for youth such as, coping skills, stress management, mentorship, tutoring, and a variety of other life skills. We intend to provide a safe place for our youth to develop their physical ability in wrestling as we instill and enhance positive traits and characteristics to help our children develop into mature and responsible young adults. One significant goal of The Cave Wrestling Gym is to establish an anti-bullying foundation, statistics show that one out of three children across the United States is or has been bullied. The after effect of bullying can have a significant impact on our children’s quality of life as well as their development and ability to function as a responsible member of society. Bullying can result in reluctance to attend school and truancy, physical complications such as headaches, stomach pains and decreased appetite, it can also cause shame, anxiety, irritability, aggression and depression are also frequent effects all of which can have a significant impact on our children’s ability to receive a proper education. The Cave Wrestling Gym will also provide service to adults in our anti-bullying foundation. Surprisingly, adult bullying has a shocking reality that is unsuspected by the majority of the population. Bullying is still seen as a problem for children in schools and most people never suspect the range, severity and depth of misery created nearly every day, nearly everywhere, by the bullying of adults, by adults. Adult bullies create polluted environments where self-esteem withers, confidence is lost and talents are stifled. By establishing this foundation our campaign will join the fight to help stop bullying by teaching our children how to identify, handle or report bullying, as well as how to cope with bullying. We will provide skilled mentors at our facility that will help our children boost self-esteem and confidence amongst many other important life skills. We will also teach adults preventative strategies, recognizing adult bullies, as well as coping methods and ways to avoid becoming a victim of bullying.
