Absolutely!!
Disagree all you want, but Lady Gaga is HUGE. She's popular, already made her mark in history, and with this, it will turn more heads toward a GREAT cause.
This WILL prove useful. Lady Gaga is a GENIUS when it comes to grabbing attention of others. She is the PERFECT candidate for this sort of thing.
Go, mother monster!!!

After the tragic suicide of 14-year-old Jamey Rodemeyer -- a self-proclaimed Gaga fan and "little monster" -- the pop queen has vowed to do all that she can to end bullying once and for all.
With the help of the MacArthur Foundation and Harvard University, Lady Gaga has launched an anti-bullying foundation aptly called the Born This Way foundation after her popular song and second album about being proud of who you are.
Gaga will lead the foundation with her mother, Cynthia Germanotta, and according to her website, the project will "focus on youth empowerment and equality by addressing issues like self-confidence, well-being, anti-bullying, mentoring and career development."
“My mother and I have initiated a passion project,” Gaga also added in a statement. “Together we hope to establish a standard of Bravery and Kindness, as well as a community worldwide that protects and nurtures others in the face of bullying and abandonment.”
Hopefully, Gaga's popularity and mass appeal will only help improve the anti-bullying movement. After Rodemeyer's shocking death, Gaga promised to meet with President Obama -- which she later did at a fundraiser -- to discuss bullying. She also tweeted "The past days I’ve spent reflecting, crying, and yelling. I have so much anger. It is hard to feel love when cruelty takes someone’s life.”
Do you think Lady Gaga's newest project, the Born This Way foundation, will help the anti-bullying cause?

We should treat EVERYONE with respect and affection, even if we think they are flushing our world down the toilet. No one ever changed their mind because of a beating.
They use their influence to help spread the message, and I think they have an obligation to do some form of work like this for the people; since they do make their money off the people.

Hatred and bigotry will always exist as long as there are people in the world, but at least we can lessen it. Good job, Gaga!
bullying is always gonna be around like wars,
prostitution,sex,birth,death,the sun,the moon.
you just have to know how to identify it and get away from it.
some people bring it upon themselves because
they are different or awkward some people just need a good
@$$ kicking like the bullies themselves or the attention whores.
"wait your one of them lady gaga freaks".
My 9 year old was just physically attacked by five other kids because his friend came to our house go trick or treating with him. Out of the parents I spoke to about the incident, only one set took it seriously. The others...not a care in the world. Pretty messed up.

treat others with compassion and empathy. Now this age of nothing is wrong and children
are taught that their emotions rule them, is the reason why youths can't destinguish
right actions from wrong behaviors. Parents need to discipline and provide a childhood
that has bounderies and instruction, too many parents leave this duties as a parent up
to the public schools and any adult that has an interest in affecting children good or bad.
Bottom line it is the parents responsibility to raise children that will grow sound and healthy. Lady Dip Witt is not going to do this.
Let's hope so because it gets a billion times worse in adulthood because it happens in the workplace where they are protected with control and authority. And it looks different- the bullying is no longer physical but pyschological done by socially acceptable people who might even look like mice so you can't tell they are the bullies and plus they have impunity.
