Youth –whose voices are frequently undervalued by adults –are speaking out on bullying.
Two teens — Council Brandon and Peython Echelson-Russell — from Hartford and West Hartford recently hosted and produced an hour-long radio show about bullying. The show explores the Aggressors, Victims, Bystanders (AVB) program and looks at what happens when those who are bullied become bullies.
Ditch any preconceived notions you have about how a youth-produced show might sound. This is not amateurish stuff.
BULLIED: Teen Stories from Generation PRX, produced by WNPR Connecticut Public Radio, is presented by PRX, the Public Radio Exchange. Audio is available online.
