Westhampton Beach Students Fight Back Against Bullying

WESTHAMPTON BEACH, NY — Kids took a stand against bullying in Westhampton Beach Friday as they took place in a bully awareness presentation.

During the theatrical assembly, presented by Box Out Bullying, students were given tools to empower them to put an end to bullying, a release said.

According to its website, Box Out Bullying is a national touring organization that specializes in combining research-based bullying prevention with live theater.

The group, the site explains, "adapts each performance to meet the developmental stage of different student groups. Our audience is engaged through all learning modes: auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. We assure that students learn by seeing, listening, and doing, which produces better results than using a video, a book, or a single lecturer. Students will laugh, cheer, and think. They will walk away with important tools and insight to empower them to be stand-up citizens and key players in ending bullying."
