Students Put a Stop to Bullying
SOUTH PORTLAND (NEWS CENTER) -- Students at Memorial Middle School didn't go to class Thursday, but for a good reason. They spent the entire day talking about a subject that impacts them all... bullying.The school's civil rights team made a video, written, acted and edited by the kids themselves. They don't mince words. In the video, they talk about the pain of bullying and some of the dire consequences, like depression and suicide.
Afterward showing the video to sixth graders, they broke up into smaller groups to talk about bullying.
Seventh grader Georgia Thury-Anderson, a member of the civil right's team, says when kids talk to kids about this subject the message is powerful.
"That's the real good part," says Thury-Anderson, "because sometimes adults say they know but they really don't know what's going on."

Boy Scouts Say No to Bullying
As far as the Boy Scouts of America is concerned, knowing how to confront a bully is now as important as mastering a slip knot.For the first time in the 97-year history of the nation's largest youth organization, newcomers must show they have learned Scout-approved ways to avoid being pushed around and called names, if they want to advance through the ranks.
Shaken down for your lunch money? Tell the bully how it hurts. Called a crater face? The 2008 Boy Scout Handbook recommends this comeback: "So what if I have a face full of zits. What's it to you?"

Advice from a Middle Schooler
How do I deal with bullies?
That's enough! Bullies will continue to abuse you until someone says, "that's enough." If you can't say the words, than tell someone who can. All bullies are the same no matter how old they are. Unless someone tells them to stop they believe what they are doing is ok.

Please Please Please don't do anything rash - do NOT harm yourself. I was targeted when I was younger, so I know what you're going through. At a certian point, I realized that if my enemies knew how much I was suffering, they'd laugh and jump for joy. I vowed not to give them the satisfaction. From that point forward, I learned to keep my cool. I didn't try to stop them, I didnt argue back, or 'pretend' that it didnt bother me. I acutally decided that those trolls were less than human, and no matter what they said, i would be cool. It didnt take long before they left me alone because they werent getting a reaction anymore. Oh, and I also took some hardcore martial arts and beat the shit out of 2 guys and choked another into unconsciousness. After that, I didnt have any problems. Life is too short to suffer needlessly. Make the other guys suffer instead!

What is Cyberbullying - Can you prevent it?
* After school a few of the people who received your picture decide to add it to a MySpace page.
* Later that evening, a bully at your school visits the MySpace page and downloads your picture, with the intent of adding a few extra features before printing an enlarged version and posting it on the school walls the next morning.
* Within 24 hours your once innocent looking face is now plastered across the internet and arriving in everyone's email inbox.

No, and we need one

We are taking on the school board. I just got the conduct policy from the district office which leaves it up to each school. That is not good enough. We have started a grass-root campaign. I have added your lens to mine which I am publishing and handing out at our community 4th of July festival.
