The Anti Bullying Council of America recently interviewed Karmell Clark, Vice President of BRIM Anti-Bullying Software of Anderson, South Carolina. BRIM has made a name for itself over the last 17 years as the top-rated anonymous reporting app for students, parents, and teachers in the US and abroad. Clark said BRIM is being used in seven countries and it is offered in Spanish and French besides English. BRIM is an intuitive app that can be downloaded for free to personal electronic devices such as cell phones and tablets by students and parents once a school purchases a membership. An interesting comment Clark made concerning educators: “Teachers and their attitudes toward students can significantly impact the student’s self-confidence and success inside ...

Each year we do a competitor and market place survey. While BRIM remains the top anti-bullying software company in every important category and by most every criteria, one criteria that stands out and that is often overlooked by consumers is longevity. When we reviewed the competitor survey from the year 2018 every single one of the top five competitors from that list are no longer in business! There is an alarming number of schools and school districts that are unaware the company that they purchased their anti-bullying program from are gone! Many a superintendent learns from BRIM that their anti-bullying support no longer exists. BRIM has been in business for 17 years and we continue to grow every year.

If necessary, file a report with your local police department if the summer school has no reporting mechanism like BRIM ...

Terry Badger III took his own life on March 6th 2023. Terry self-recorded a video explaining why he took his life “They made fun of me every f***ing day and I hate my f***ing life. I’m going to kill myself.” Terry was attending Covington Middle School and was in the 7th grade. Terry’s parents had informed the school multiple times about the bullying….. Terry’s parents say they were never contacted by the school with any updates or information about their son’s bullying. Clearly the school administrators have dropped the ball here and cannot ...

October is Anti-Bullying month in the US and it is also the gateway to the holidays which are usually thought of as a time of joy, peace and goodwill by most. Unfortunately, research has found that nearly 30% of middle school students have concerns about returning to school after holiday break due to bullying. Bullied students become chronically absent students that cost schools millions of dollars. High school dropout rates most frequently occur after the school holiday break with “classroom boredom” ranked as the number one reason followed closely by number two “being bullied” as the primary causes for leaving school before graduating. A different study showed that 2 out of 10 high school students are bullied to such a ...
