Bullying...it's not imagined, it's real, and it happened to 13 year old Ally from New Milford, who was bullied to the point of depression and desolation.

Over 13 million kids will experience bullying in school, at the bus stop, and online which makes it the most violent crime against kids in this country.  She was shunned, pushed, shoved into lockers and in one day received 270 hate-mail messages telling her to kill herself which she did consider just to stop the pain. It's been determined that when a bystander intervenes, the bullying usually stops. Check out Ally's story right here.

You can make a difference by talking to your kids about being more than just a bystander when they see bullying taking place. We can show kids like Ally we care and are taking action. Please consider donating to StopBullying.tilt.com...Sometimes it's a matter of life and death.
