Anti Bullying Squad

I started the Anti-Bullying Squad because I knew what it felt like to be on the other side. In 3rd grade, I was teased, excluded, and made to feel like I didn’t belong. It wasn’t just the words or the silence, it was the way it chipped at my confidence day after day. For a long time, I carried that question in my head: why do people hurt others just to feel powerful? ABS was my way of taking back that power for every student who ever felt the same loneliness. I wanted to create the space I never had: somewhere you could speak without being judged, be heard without being dismissed, and know you weren’t alone. What began as me trying to make sense of my own pain turned into a movement where thousands of voices could finally rise together.
