Let's End Bullying--in All its Forms!

Bullying is a big problem. What's even worse, is that the problem is spilling over into technology. Kids (and young adults) aren't just worrying about bullies at school. Because of cyberbullying, the problem follows them home now.

Here are some resources I found on the effects of bullying. This first one is of Anderson Cooper interviewing teenagers about bullying.

Watch it here. 

Ellen DeGeneres has become a voice for anti-bullying. Each day she ends her show with "Be kind to one another." In this clip you see a more serious side of Ellen as she talks about the very negative effects of bullying and the impact it has on young people's lives.

Watch it here. 

As cyberbullying has become more of an issue in our world, more and more people are speaking up about it. We need to put an end to it. No one should ever feel afraid of going to school. No one should be worried to log into an online website to see what mean things people are writing about them. 


ABC Family put out a movie titled "Cyberbully." It follows the story of a girl who becomes a victim of online bullies and we see the devastating consequences of it. I watched the movie when it first aired and thought it was really well done. 

Check out the trailer.

Have you seen a change in the way people deal with cyberbullying? Awareness is a big part of it. Please share your thoughts!
