Third
Annual Legal Lives Anti-Bullying Video Contest scheduled to begin on Tuesday,
January 22, 2013. Students in the fourth through ninth grades throughout Brooklyn are encouraged to enter the contest by
submitting a video about bullying. The deadline for video submissions is Tuesday,
April 30, 2013.
Bullying is
a problem in schools and on the internet. It is intentional, aggressive
behavior that involves an imbalance of power or strength, typically repeated
over time. Bullying has a serious effect on its victims, often leading to
depression, and in some cases, it may even lead to suicide.
The goal of
the contest is to raise the consciousness of not only children, but teachers,
administrators and parents to the reality of bullying and how each of them has
to step up and be a part of solving this problem. If more young people were to
take a stand against bullying, then the phenomenon would likely diminish over
time.
Participants
are asked to create a 90-second video that answers one of the following
questions:
What
is bullying?
How
does bullying make you feel?
What
does a bully look like?
How
can you stop a bully?
What
should you do if you are being bullied?
Videos will
be judged on creativity and content. Students are encouraged to use music,
dancing or pictures. To submit a video, students will need to upload their
videos as a response to the DA Hynes Announces Anti-Bullying Video which can be
found at: www.youtube.com/kingscountyda The winner will
serve as “DA for the Day.”

ON APRIL 30, 2013

Can't wait to see all the entries for this will mirror how kids sees bullying and what are their whereabouts on how to stop it. I think this contest is indeed a good idea, hope it can help the schools to lessen the bullying incidence.
