Interview with Brave The Bullies Together Founder Emily Foster

I thought it would be nice to get to know a little bit about Brave The Bullies Together and what and who the book helps.  Her name is Emily Foster and she is a smart and courageous lady who is taking a stand against bullies and bullying in schools on the playground and in life in general.  I thought it would be interesting to bring her story to the fold so everyone knows about Brave The Bullies and the work that Emily is doing.

Hi Emily, Tells us how you started up Brave the Bullies Together and how personal this cause is to you?

I started Brave the Bullies Together in 2012 after finishing my GCSEs, I initially started raising awareness about bullying on Twitter and Facebook while I organised a summer fair to raise the funds needed to buy equipment for the anti-bullying workshops I wanted to start running in September 2012. This cause is extremely personal to me and it means more than anything to be doing this work as my best friend, Sam, committed suicide in 2009 as a result of lifelong bullying over a skin condition that he had from birth. Sam was an amazing friend and one of the most selfless and caring person I ever met and I feel that it's important not only to give something back to him and everything he did for me, but to make sure that I do everything I can to prevent people from having to suffer alone with bullying.

What is the main purpose of Brave The Bullies Together and what goals do you have for it?

At least with me gone they could learn to remember the old me, the person I was fleetingly when I knew how to be happy and how to live. Depriving them of my physical presence just by being alive, they’d learn to remember me the way I wanted to remember myself.

Eleven authors with different styles and different imaginations have come together to help out a great cause.  That cause is to fight against bullying and help Emily Foster raise money for her charity that helps to bring awareness against bullying.  This UK Group goes around to schools and does lectures to help get the message out. So all that they do costs money and this book was made to help raise funds for Brave The Bullies Together and to help Emily get her message out.
