Making Comics to Create Awareness of Bullying! (ABC Family)

My students need a variety of art supplies including paints, brushes, and markers to create a graphic novel project about the dangers of bullying.

My Students

Schools should be a safe haven for students, but often the evils of bullying take this safe place and make it uncomfortable. The best way for us to change this ever present problem is to give students an outlet to deal with both the problem of bullies and potential solutions to those problems.

Over the past two years, our students have spearheaded many initiatives to inform their peers about the dangers of bullying.

By getting the word out about the problem through student-created public service announcements, posters, and flyers, we are working toward a bully-free high school. Besides these initiatives, students have other exciting ideas for projects. This ABC Family opportunity got us thinking about new ways to reach students of all ages.

My Project

My classes are interested in creating a small graphic novel anthology. In this anthology, students will write and draw stories about the problems they've experience with bullying... and their solutions to the problem. This anthology will be aimed at younger students; we hope to be able to share this comic with the elementary schools in our district. In order to create this graphic novel, we need professional supplies like Bristol board and ink pens.

Your donation to this project will be an investment in a bully-free school environment.

These art supplies will ensure the creation of a graphic novel that will educate younger students and set the tone for future student interactions... both for the creators of these comics and the young people who will read those comics.
