Israel (Izzy) C. Kalman is a school psychologist and director of Bullies2Buddies, a program designed to help children and adults solve their problems with bullying. Taking an alternative approach to commonly accepted methods of dealing with bullies, Izzy is revolutionizing the realm of interpersonal relationships with his seminars and workshops.

Columbine, Santana, and the other school massacres have brought the suffering of victims of teasing and bullying to the world's attention. Unfortunately, most of the things our country (and the world) are doing to solve the problem are misguided and are causing more harm than good. That's why Izzy created Bullies2Buddies.com -- to provide the world with the correct understanding and solution to the problem of teasing and bullying.

The only reason that people become victims of relentless teasing and bullying is that they do not practice Freedom of Speech. The attitude, “You have no right to say that,” is the source of almost all anger and aggression between people. Freedom of Speech is the ultimate solution to the problem of teasing and bullying. The attitude, “You have the right to say whatever you want, and it is perfectly OK,” is the simple secret for preventing victimization. Granting others this right is the most basic ingredient for peace, understanding, and love between people. « less
