High School BULLY

A show dealing with the ever-present and often dangerous problem of bullying in our schools.

A sensitive yet realistic portrayal of situations experienced by the bully, the bullied, and the bystanders which offers viable alternatives and solutions on how to deal and heal from a variety of resources including the multiple award winning Strategies for Success Leadership/Success Curriculum. *

Back to School Touring Shows

Thank you so much for the fabulous performance you did for our ninth grade class. The message you portrayed was current and realistic. Unlike most presentations on bullying which are delivered by adults, the high school actors, who were amazingly talented, held the students attention throughout the entire play and consequently the message was meaningful and relevant to them

Again, thank you from all of the faculty and ninth graders for allowing us to host this performance, and please make sure that all involved know how well the play was received. It facilitated discussions on bullying the next day in advisory, and the guidance counselors will also be following up with additional information/lessons with the 9th graders on the many problems and the serious effects associated with bullying.

"I learned that bullying can really make an impact on someone's life. To know that someone could kill themselves over bullying, that's pretty serious."

"I learned that bullying happens for a lot of reasons such as getting bullied at home or not being sure of yourself. I enjoyed this presentation."

"It taught me many good strategies to use if ever being bullied, and also how it could help someone so much just by being a friend."
