This website is a site that gives presentations about bullying. The age group geared for this site are mostly teenagers however, they do have a young lady’s story who was 27 years old. This group was started in 2010 by a group of students at the Oklahoma State University after hearing about the story of an 11 year old boy who ended his life due to bullying. This site stands to educate people. You can find information to start a chapter for this organization to help spread the word. What I like on their site is that they have short little stories of those who’ve been victimized and ended their lives due to bullying. They have them on the site to honor those individuals.

They also have a lot of bulling statistics on the site and the different types of bullying people may encounter.
