Have you ever thought about the long-lasting impact of your words and actions? Because of you, people can feel empowered and loved, but also insecure and hurt. Even the smallest words and actions, whether online or in person, can have a big effect. Watch how we surprised teens at a career counseling session with a message from the future.

Be the change

Take a minute to ask yourself-what impact are my actions having? Most of us are well-intentioned and try to do the right thing, but nobody's perfect. Even small missteps can have consequences that we don't expect.

Use the cards below to gut check your behaviors and get tips on how to use your words and actions to support those around you.

This moment of flux is also a moment of opportunity. What if students take the pain they experience from bullying, isolation and hopelessness, and use it as motivation to create inclusive environments? What if instead of being the reason they don't go to school, become violent, or harm themselves, it's the reason they find hope and purpose?

Through heightened education, community mobilization, advocacy and youth empowerment, Be Strong strives to save and improve lives by shining a light on social environment safety and acceptance, enhance knowledge about the help/resources available and provide easy access to professional service providers. Join the Be Strong Movement.

I've been bullied for several years. Infact I still am, and it's just not verbally, but also on the internet. Words DO hurt. I've been bullied for my size, they way I look, and just being diffrent. Pledgeing can make a diffrence even though it may not seem like it, but it does. Stand up for yourself. Understand that everyone is not gonna be your friend, so you don't need everyone to make your life happy.  Smile, cause your diffrent. and being diffrent is what makes a person a better person!

Katie, 13, Ky

IT BEGINS WITH ONE. Hi, my name is Kerri Abney. I am hoping to be able to begin an early prevention program for ages 3-5. Studies show that children between 3-5 are most impressionable, and this age sets the foundation of how we will interact with people in general as we grow. Many parents and teachers have thought to introduce such things as a second language, due to younger age... Read more
