“Smokey”
Anonymous

It all started with "Smokey." One day at lunch, we were all playing around. "You’re as black as Smokey the bear!" And since we were playing around, I didn’t pay it any attention(well, not a lot). But, after a while one person(I wont call any names) started calling me that all the time. You see, this person was sort of like a trendsetter, and once this person started calling me that, a lot of other children did too. I wanted to do something about it, but couldn’t. They weren’t threatening me or anything, I just couldn’t bring myself to it.
When I couldn’t hold it in, I told my aunt. She was someone I could trust, so I told her the whole story. I guess she was concerned, because she told my mom. My mom asked me if this was true. I tried to deny it, but couldn’t. "Yes, it’s true." My mom must’ve been concerned, because she told my counselor. She called us to her office for a meeting. After the meeting, the name calling ceased. Yes, I was called a snitch at times, but it didn’t matter. I felt better!

We can help stop bullying by walking away if someone is rude to you or speak up to the teacher. We can also stop the bullying by the stop walk and talk. This is how kids and poeple can stop all bullying

Just the Thing

This video can be interpreted many ways. A lot of people didn’t get it in the first cut and a lot did. The point is that two people can be considered complete outcasts, but if they truly care about each other, that’s all they need and to them, its everyone else who are outcasts. Luke Bilyk was great to work with, and I am so happy he is another activist who stands by this message.

Hi! Kylie here.

I’m glad you chose to visit me at Teens Against Bullying. I’ve learned so much from their National Bullying Prevention Center website and as their spokesperson, I am honored to be a part of such a powerful organization.

I wrote a song called Phoebe in memory of Phoebe Prince who unfortunately took her life because she was bullied. It is so important you are aware that your actions have both positive and negative influences. Just try to remember, “It Matters What We Do.”

Please sign the digital petition.

Thank you! Love, Kylie

Buckets vs. Bullying
James and Jack

This past summer, James and Jack decided to bring together their passions for basketball and bullying prevention. James and Jack had participated in WE DAY and learned that “charity should not be ‘work’, instead it should stem from joy.” This is what led to their great idea for a summer camp, Buckets vs. Bullies. James and his brother Jack wanted to use their joy in life, basketball, to help stop bullying. They held two camp session in the summer for boys and girls ages 6 to 10 and donated proceeds to PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center. Participants enjoyed a week full of basketball fun, while supporting a great cause! At the end of the camp session, the brothers raised $1,050 to donate to PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center to help prevent bullying!
