"Not In Our School" movement, an extension of "Not In Our Town" movement, helps people across USA fight hate, intolerance and stereotypes of immigrants. On the website people can find videos that share stories or ways to resist bullying. This is incredible, beautiful! You can take courses in some universities or even start a campaign at your school.

You're right children and adolescents can be mean over some issues and things life school safety and bullying are especially big problems in usa and elsewhere in the world. and this is definately seems to be a good example of how to get through such problems that collaboration with the local community is very important as in this case.
