Kids and Teens against bullying






http://www.pacerkidsagainstbullying.org/

http://www.pacerteensagainstbullying.org/

These two sites are produced and managed by PACER, Parent Advocacy Coalition for Educational Rights. PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center unites, engages, and educates communities nationwide to address bullying through creative, relevant, and interactive resources. The two sites are designated by age levels, kids and teens. Both sites deliver the important information about bullying but in a way that is most appealing to that specific age group. The kids site has bright colors, interactive games, printable color sheets, cartoon based web-episodes, and much more. The teen site has real teens with voice-overs for each link, the colors are darker, there is an option to share creative writing, share personal stories, a blog, and examples of different types of bullying. Both sites, kids and teens, have a petition users can sign which states The End of Bullying starts With Me, celebrities who have shared their feelings about bullying, and links for parents to support their child. These sites are directed toward the users and their interests, many users have already contributed to the site, as well.
