Florida - The 3D-T.E.A.M. Foundation - Chris Hollyfield & Billy Klink

At the world 4'4" we bring together Chris Hollyfield and Billy Klinke to create the 3D - T.E.A.M. Foundation. T.E.A.M. is an acronym for "Teasing Effects All Mentally." Geared toward students from grades 1 through 8, the program focuses on how people judge others and how to recognize and avoid teasing and bullying among children.

As Little People, being visually different with an average height of 4'4", Chris and Billy have an enormous impact on children because of their experiences and accomplishments in life. Through the 3D - T.E.A.M. Foundation they expect to talk to an estimated 60,000 or more students across the country each school year.

Peer Abuse Know More! - Speaker, Elizabeth Bennett
   "In recent years, we have started to learn that there is more to bullying than “sticks and stones” and “kids play”. Bullying is a hidden epidemic that our culture has either chosen to ignore or has never really had the education to understand. In schools and the workplace across America, 1 in 4 individuals are bullied everyday.
   "Children fear going to school and are developing real clinical problems like depression, anxiety and PTSD. Daily, these kids are verbally, physically, mentally and sexually violated by their peers. If there is no intervention from adults, these students may take matters into their own hands. According to the FBI a high percentage of the school shootings, assaults, attacks and school age suicide, now known as “bullycide” can be directly linked to bullying.. These problems are not getting better, they are getting worse.
   "I invite you to visit my web site, Peer Abuse Know More, at http://www.peerabuse.info, if you are interested in a presentation or program. Please feel free to contact me, Elizabeth Bennett, at (864) 415-0034 or email elizabethbennett@peerabuse.info to learn more. "You can also email bullypoliceusa@yahoogroups.com for instructions.
