LET'S GET REAL! Taunting and Bullying
Name-calling and bullying are at epidemic proportions among youth across the country, and are often the root causes of
violence in schools. This program gives young people the chance to tell their stories in their own words - and the results are
heartbreaking, shocking, inspiring and poignant. Unlike the vast majority of videos made for schools about the issue, this
program doesn't sugarcoat the truth or feature adults lecturing kids about what to do when "bad" kids pick on them. Also
examines a variety of issues that lead to taunting and bullying, including racial differences, perceived sexual orientation,
learning disabilities, religious differences, sexual harassment and others. The film not only gives a voice to targeted kids, but
also to kids who do the bullying to find out why they lash out at their peers and how it makes them feel. The most heartening
part includes stories of kids who have mustered the courage to stand up for themselves or a classmate. Establishes an
awareness about students’ own roles in society and what they can do to prevent prejudice and promote understanding. *The
accompanying 130-page curriculum guide features valuable lesson plans, discussion starters, classroom activities and
handouts for teachers to use in conjunction with the film. The DVD special features chapter-by-chapter version of the film
corresponding to the curriculum guide. #11623/0788 35 minutes 2004 $129.95 *CC

YOU CAN SOLVE IT SERIES!
These innovative programs address important issues middle schoolers face everyday: how to handle situations that provoke
anger in themselves and others; how to deal with decisions that test their character; and what to do about harassment and
bullying. Each program is made up of short, open-ended scenarios followed by in-depth questions that ask students how they
would deal with the situation. The three programs spark discussion and get kids thinking and talking about issues they might
otherwise ignore.
YOU CAN SOLVE IT: Anger - Five short, true-to-life scenarios examine the many faces of anger. Viewers are asked how
each character could have handled the situation in a way that would diffuse anger and help find a positive solution.
YOU CAN SOLVE IT: Harassment - Young teens see harassment everyday. Some are perpetrators. Some are victims. All
are witnesses. What should you do if you are harassed? What should you do if you see harassment?
YOU CAN SOLVE IT: Character - Respect. Responsibility. Fairness. Caring. Trustworthiness. Good citizenship. These six
character traits are examined in open-ended scenarios that challenge teens to consider their own ethical values.
