Anti-Bullying


Today was pretty significant. For those who wore the plain white tee, they'd agree with me. Having people graffiti you with hurtful words is a hard feeling. The ironic thing about this process is that people graffiti people everyday. Sure, they're not using Sharpies, but they're definitely labeling people with hurtful words and having each other walk around with this weight. The slogan, "put the weight of your words on me" worked perfectly. It described exactly what people needed to know.
The experience I had with a fellow classmate can't clearly be described. It was definitely eye-opening.
STAC is used to bullying, but instead of trying to help banish it or prove it wrong, we usually just would show off. It's interesting how positively this interaction with the rest of the school was so successful.
