This is Series 2 of my book, MOMMY, WHY COME? This series discusses the seriousness of bullying: the reasons why bullying exists, who gets targeted, and the short-term and long-term affects of bullying on children. It also addresses the responsibilities of teachers, bus drivers, and adults in protecting children.



My name is Shirley Judge Blount, and I am a retired instructional assistant in Durham, North Carolina. I have been married for 36 years to my husband, Ken, and we have two adult children and three grandchildren. I am currently a Substitute Teacher in four public schools here in North Carolina.



I graduated magna cum laude from Shaw University in Raleigh, NC, with a B.S. degree in Business Administration.



I am also a patented Inventor. I received my Patent from the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, and I traveled to China to oversee the manufacturing of my revolutionary product.
