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.

People might be bullied because of how they look or what they do, and thats not fair, people should respect other people, no matter how they look or what they do, you should treat people how you want to be treated

Everyone was made equally. For example, just because people have disabilities or other characteristics that people don't have, they don't have to be treated differently. I also care that people should take a stand and not just sit back and watch this chaos.

I was 12 back then and somehow I still remember it correctly. They came to me during the second half of the break, all with the intention to humiliate me. I struggled with confidence issue for a couple of year ever since then (I don’t even want to someone to take any picture of me). When my teacher ask my mom to come to school due to this, I got so embarrassed and I really hate the fact that the teacher only ask my mom, not their parents.
