Hosted by Erika Harold, Miss America, herself a victim of severe harassment, this program provides advice to victims, parents and bystanders. Her personal experience is interwoven with compelling personal stories of teens who have also been bullied but found help.
We see how high school peer educators work with middle school students to produce PSAs showing what bystanders can do when they see someone being bullied. Everyone involved gains awareness about the various forms of bullying and harassment, and in the process, changes their own attitudes and behavior.
Another segment focuses on the widespread problem of cyberbullying, with an expert who gives parents and teens practical advice about how to deal with online harassment. The program's approach and information is based on the latest research and recommendations of HRSA's National Bullying Campaign "
Take a Stand. Lend a Hand. Stop Bullying Now!".
