After having her own children, Brie Liberty‘s interests in children grew. She owned and operated a day school for young children in Sedona, Arizona in 1988 for 5 years.

What really inspired Ms Liberty to write the book, The Secret of the Lake, was from her own personal experience with a high school friend who was bullied. As she has said herself, “it bothered me then, and it bothers me now.” This is an attempt to shine some light on a very difficult challenge that so many children are forced to face alone.

    Resources about Stopping and Speaking Up against Bullying:


       IAN Research Report: Bullying and Children with ASD

    It has been suggested that children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are especially vulnerable to bullying.  Connie Anderson, Ph.D., IAN Community Scientific Liaison - Kennedy Krieger Institute


    Blogger Matt Langdon argues that we should promote "pro-hero" schools rather than "anti-bullying" schools to send a more positive message. What do you think?

    "A hero is someone who takes action for the good of others despite a risk or sacrifice. That is, when a hero sees something they know to be wrong, they do something about it."







    The NO BULL Teen Video Awards - The Great American NO BULL Challenge announced the fifteen finalists of their bullying prevention video competition: First Place Winners receives: a 3 episode video production $10,000  deal, a trip to the Sundance Film Festival in 2013 ($5,000 max value), where their film will be submitted as a Short Film Documentary , and much more!  Eight NO BULL Winners will be announced “live” at the Teen Video Awards in San Francisco on July 21, 2012 during this star-studded evening!

        Stop Bullying Now! Strategies for reducing bullying and harm

      “We must be the change we wish to see in the world” - Mahatma Gandhi As a culture, we are focusing new attention on bullying. According to world-wide research ...
      There is little need to describe the impact of mean actions by peers. Youth who mistreat others frequently are more likely to become aggressive adults and to have criminal records in adulthood. Mistreated young people may grow up with diminished self-confidence and a sense of isolation and helplessness. Youth who witness mean behavior repeatedly are also affected.
