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 know that bullying can really affect a person in negative way. They can start thinking that they arent worthy of love or worthy at all. This can lead to people potanialy hurting themselves. This is why I care for bullying to be stopped.

No one deserves to be bullied I know what it feel likes to be bullied. In my old school I got bullied by my friend who I call a fake friend/bully. So I know what it feels like to get bullied and I don’t like the feeling of being bullied. So to all the kids who are being bullied just wanted to let you know you are not alone and support bully prevention.

I remenber when a bully hurt my friend. I'm sad and upset. My friend was dissapointed. You should report the bully to an adult.

I care because no one chooses to be born the way they do but they should be proud of who they are. No one should tell them otherwise.

Being nice and kind is the best way to go and having a positive attitude. Being harsh, rude, and pushing someone when they want is where they will get nowhere in life.
