http://www.bullying.org is a project for kids by kids. Youth can contribute their
personal reflections, poems, music, drawings, photographs, and even films.
If you are an adult working with kids, a school, a school board or other
organization that has already developed resources, programs and expertise
about the issues relating to bullying and teasing, please contact us so that
we may list this your information to let others know where they can go for
help or support on our "Help" page.
Please share this site with others whom you think will benefit from it.
The site is only just beginning, but we anticipate it growing VERY rapidly
as the issue is so universal, so pervasive and the needs are so great.
http://www.bullying.org is a project of IEARN-Canada ( http://www.iearn-canada.org ).

Assessment
Teachers can access student learning by using this project as an opportunity to have students share their thoughts and feelings about the issues of bullying and teasing. By reading the stories of others and by sharing their own, they will learn tht they are NOT alone in dealing with these issues, that having to deal with this is NOT their fault, and that they can find help and the support of others and that they CAN do something about their situation.
