The Fight to End Bullying

Kirk Smalley's son was constantly picked on and shoved around by bullies in his school. When he finally retaliated, he was the one who got caught and he got suspended. He later that day shot himself. Kirk Smalley is going around the world to spread what happened to his son. He came to my school in Hannibal, MO and talked to us about what happened and how we can help. We need to stop bullying. He made a promise to his son named Ty Smalley. Kirk promised Ty he would put an end to bullying. He can't do it without help. He needs all the help he can get. He made a program for his son called Stand For The Silent or SFTS. Kirk made up a hand signal and in letters it looks like this: lmL. It means you've got that person's back. Kirk Smalley is going to fight for the stop of bullying for the rest of his life. We NEED to help. Here is how you can help: spread the word about what happened, wear a SFTS shirt, wear a wristband that says "I AM SOMEBODY" and "SFTS." Go to the SFTS website for more information.
