Scottsdale, Ariz. – May 03, 2013 –Kris Anderson has been selected as a candidatein the Are You a Messenger Program. Kris’ passion: Bullying and abuse. Whether it’s at school, at work, receiving an e-mail or walking down the street… everyone at some point in their lives has a run-in with a bully, ormay not even realizetheir actions have been taken as bullying.

Kris has for some time been committed to being a Messenger about bullying and abuse. Since National Bullying Prevention Month is not until October, in an effort to curb bullying – long before that time, the “Be Kind, Be Real, No B.S. FRITZ Movement” is alreadyunderway.

In the wake of incidents like the WKBTanchorwoman receiving an e-mail criticizing her weight, saying she was fat and a disgrace to her community,and the death of a 15-year-old Indiana high school student bullied online, Kris and her sidekick, “Fritz the Frog”are on a quest to educate and put a stop to the clambering noise we hear about bullying and abuse.“Fritz” is urging everyone to join the “FRITZ Movement” by wearingand snappinga Silly Bandz to show support for kindness.

“As a society we talk about people; we pick on them. In many instances, I don’t think it’s done to be malicious, so The Fritz Movement is designed to get people thinking… to “snap” them back into reality” says Anderson. “I want people to recognize that their actions have results. FRITZ is about stopping the senselessness and being real and kind. We all have feelings – and there is no need for them to include the pain of bullying or abuse.”

Anderson believes theDating Pond is no different. While her Amazon book, Kissing Frogs: Tall Tales and Insights from the Dating Pond, is a rathercomedic take on her worst dates, in chronicling her time in the Dating Pond, Kris hoped to learn… and teach people about the ups and downs of life and dating through her experiences.Going to great lengths to protect egos and identities, byputting the feelings of her potential suitors above her own, Kris shows her belief that there’s good in everyone.
