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.
Tell Us Why You Care

There are so many kids in my country who gets bullied for rumours. Unacceptable as it is, no one does anything about that. They just say'' What a crybaby ", or "They are just joking around, don't take it seriously'', " It's your fault after all". This is a really good purpose to stand against bullying.
