CHEYENNE -- As a rodeo clown, Marvin Nash gets his share of bulls coming after him. But,outside the arena, Nash has found a niche by helping youths deal with bullies through a program called Bullying Hurts.

"We've got some type of program going in, I think, 37 states,"he said.

The Bullying Hurts Program stresses support, attention and education. It teaches, among other things, that bullying is a part of life, violence toward bullies is not a solution and support of victims of bullying is key to helping them deal with it.

"W're not going to make bullying go away, but if we can help you deal with it, it's not going to be a negative thing and destroy your life,"Nash said.
