I came across this long article on Boston.com about a community that is going about anti-bullying programs in a unique way. Long story short, they are attempting to rehabilitate bullies by using YouTube videos and other unconventional media sources, as a form of counseling. It's a very interesting read and one in line with what The Acceptivity Project is all about. While the main goal of starting this project was to raise awareness for young people being bullied and the acceptance of marginalized individuals, it became clear to me that the bullies are often victims themselves and are worthy of being treated. It will be interesting to see what the success of this program is and if it can and should be adopted to other communities throughout the country.
