MUTANT NATION - IT'S TIME TO CRUSH BULLYING FOR GOOD

MUTANT NATION - IT'S TIME TO CRUSH BULLYING FOR GOOD
At MUTANT® we don’t take ourselves too seriously - except when it comes to lifting the heavy stuff of course!

That said, we do want to bring something serious to your attention…

Bullying in any form is NOT OK. 

It’s Anti-Bullying Day / Pink Shirt Day this Feb 22 and we encourage you to be extra diligent to ensure your fellow lifters feel welcome and supported - especially if they are just starting out on their fitness journey. This empathetic attitude should also extend to others outside your circle. At the end of the day - be someone who puts fires OUT instead of starting them for no reason.

What are the different types of bullying?

Bullying can come in many types and forms that aren't always obvious. Here is a list of a few types of bullying:

  • Physical aggression
  • Verbally threatening someone
  • Backhanded compliment or mocking someone
  • Leaving a rude comment online
  • Excluding someone from a group
  • Ignoring somebody in need
  • Being overly sarcastic
  • Embarrassing someone in a mean prank
  • Spreading rumours behind someone's back

Why spread awareness about bullying? 

Actions and words are powerful as they can change the thoughts and behavior of ourselves and others. It’s important we recognize when we negatively impact other people with our words or actions.

Bullying serves no purpose other than to selfishly make bullies feel powerful. MUTANT knows that the true way of feeling powerful comes from building discipline and mastery over your own behavior, especially when pursuing a meaningful goal like bodybuilding. By mastering your own thoughts and actions you can then positively build other people up along with you. Now THAT's something worth talking about!

 

 

MUTANT cares about community

At MUTANT we respect uniqueness and the abnormal. We celebrate those who don’t want to conform or be average. We care about camaraderie and the love of the bodybuilding sport. If you love to lift - you’re in!

Everyone has a responsibility to identify and crush bullying in any form. Do you want to be the kind of person that starts fires or one that puts them out for a better community.
