As an advocate for the disabilities community in St. Louis, Christina Hune understands the devastating effects of bullying first hand, and how important it is to end this cycle of abuse. When Stand For The Silent partnered with us to collect memoirs, art and poetry for The Bully Diaries, Christina saw an opportunity to share her story. She now uses the book to raise awareness about the horrible impact of bullying. This summer, Christina invited both those who are disabled, and those who are not -together for The Bully Diaries in the Park Book Club event. After speaking, she asked some of them what they learned from the event as she autographed copies of the book for them. Here’s a snippet of some of the footage we captured:

Their message has reached the disabilities community in St. Louis, Missouri with tremendous impact as evidenced by Christina.

Chances are that you experienced bullying in your life. Whether your experience was as a victim, a bystander or the bully, if you search your memories, you will probably find instances when bullying was a part of your life. For many of us, these experiences have defined us and shaped us. Our experiences made us stronger, and helped us become who we are today.
