Congratulations to the 2025 Students with Solutions “Speak Up About Speaking Up” Video Winner!
Bessemer City Middle School 6th graders (Alabama), under the guidance of Dr. Yuvraj Verma, won the video category. To address this year’s theme of self-advocacy, they created an inspiring video featuring over 90 students titled “The Power of Speaking Up.” Each student spoke with strong conviction about the benefits of self-advocacy and how it not only helps with bullying, but with self-confidence as well. “It’s about courage, kindness, and standing together,” they said.

Student Action Plan Against Bullying
Ready to take action to address bullying? Maybe not sure how to start? As a student, bullying is something that impacts you, your peers, and your school – whether you’re the target of bullying, a witness, or the person who bullies. Bullying can end, but that won’t happen unless students, parents, and educators work together and take action.
Tell Us Why You Care

Bullying should stop because you never know what that person who getting bullied is going thru. And we can help them by just sitting down and talking and telling them we are right by your side.

I care because nobody should have to put up with the hurt and hate a bully causes. Every one should help and look out for people getting bullied. Help those who need to be helped, I have had no experiences being bullied, but I know what its like to stick out and be the weird one. Help they person getting bullied and ignore the actual bully and what they are doing.

I care because, I myself have experienced bullying. Ranging from elementary, to high school. It gets worse in high school since everyone is trying to reach more popularity. But I want to become a teacher, so I know that when I do become one, I will try my best to stop the bullying not only in the school I teach at, but in the whole district. I care because I know the personal experience, and it will get better!
