The "stick people" in this video are imaginary,
but this gritty tale is all too familiar. Like the dance beat
pulsating throughout the film, the bully's intimidation of
a smaller victim is unrelenting; no one stops the dance until
serious harm is inflicted. While the video offers no simple
solutions, it does compel viewers - teachers, parents and
children - to take stock of their actions and to find ways
to end peer abuse. |

Being called names can be a painful and damaging experience.
This program uses vignettes to highlight the reasons behind
name-calling, the effect it has on others, and shows kids
how to be more assertive so they can stop others from calling
them names. Strategies include: telling them how it makes
you feel, asking them to stop, ignoring them or asking an
adult for help. |
