Crafting Friendships Through Kindness

Outspoken Oaks Upstanders, River Oaks Academy

Why did we participate in the video contest?

A couple of years ago, there was a cyberbullying incident in our school. After the incident, we created a group to help make others aware of the effects of bullying and how to prevent it. Bullying prevention is important because nobody deserves to be bullied. It makes that person feel alone and depressed. It’s important to accept people for who they are so this way we can learn from our differences and commonalities.
