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.

I care because it's not fair to those who get bullied. Bullying isn't cool so i don't understand why people keep doing it.

I´ve been not only bullied, but harassed and judged for actions I did not commit. It changed who I am and no-one deserves to be someone they´re not.

I have seen people who get bullied before, and they don't turn out good. There is no reason for them to be hurt. We should all be treated like equal human beings. It is not right. This needs to stop.
