Speak Up!

Speak Up! Is the new campaign that Bedford High School had created to help prevent and put an end to all bullying that occurs not only in the school, but outside the walls of the school as well. Speak Up will allow students who are being bullied as well as witnesses to report bullying when they either experience it, or see it happening to someone else. To report a bully, a form can be filled out either at school, or online. On the form you can write your name if you would like to be contacted about the situation, or you can leave the form blank and just write down the situation. I personally do not think Bedford has a huge problem with bullying; however, I do believe that every school has some situations in which bullying occurs. I honestly do not know really how well this new campaign will work, because I know that students have been told several times before to report bullying, but as many times as students are told, they still do not report bullying in fear of their own reputation. I guess I can say that I do not really think that this campaign will be a big help to Bedford, but anything is worth a try.
