Why These Lessons Were Created:

The heartbreaking stories of students who have taken their own lives due to persistent bullying led to the creation of this powerful lesson. It is ideal for middle and high school classes or school-wide bullying prevention programs.

After teaching this lesson to 9th graders, students were inspired to speak up, create awareness materials, and take action against bullying in their school.

• "Reading those stories really made me think it can happen to anyone at any time and we need to stand up if it does."
• "Now they have ideas of what to do or say."
