Congratulations to the 2025 Students with Solutions “Speak Up About Speaking Up” Video Winner!
Bessemer City Middle School 6th graders (Alabama), under the guidance of Dr. Yuvraj Verma, won the video category. To address this year’s theme of self-advocacy, they created an inspiring video featuring over 90 students titled “The Power of Speaking Up.” Each student spoke with strong conviction about the benefits of self-advocacy and how it not only helps with bullying, but with self-confidence as well. “It’s about courage, kindness, and standing together,” they said.

Student Action Plan Against Bullying
Ready to take action to address bullying? Maybe not sure how to start? As a student, bullying is something that impacts you, your peers, and your school – whether you’re the target of bullying, a witness, or the person who bullies. Bullying can end, but that won’t happen unless students, parents, and educators work together and take action.
I care because no one deserves to be bullied, they might have something going on at home and people are making it even harder for them. Bullying people don't make them look cool, it makes them a terrible person, no one's gonna like them in the future because they will remember how much harm they have caused to that person. just don't bully people, you don't know what they're going through.
No one deserves to be bullied. It is unfair that there are people in this world that get brought down because they are "different". There are so many beautiful people in this world that are being bullied, because they feel insecure, lonely, lost, and afraid. If we can all learn to just be our amazing selves, then I think some of this bullying will decrease. Also, remember, be yourself because everyone else is taken. xoxo
I care because bullying has a really big impact on people's lives and can causes big problems.
I care because people should not bully other people just because they look different act different dress different anything. There is no reason to speak badly about someone else just for the fun of it. Like my mom has always said " if you have nothing nice to say then don't speak at all" .
I care because bullying is wrong. #stopbullying
i care because i've been bullied before bullying people is not fun. People do it because something is happening in there life that is harming there feelings. If your being bullied try talking to them. be there for them. Be there and help.
I was always a victim of bullying. Kids used to do mean things to me all the time. I didn’t tell anyone because I didn’t want to trouble them. One day in middle school, a group of seniors had plotted something against me. They pushed me and called me mean names and recorded a video of it on youtube, luckily I found it and reported it. I told my mom and she told the principal. Nobody messed with me anymore.
