Wednesday, October 25th was \u201cUnity Day,\u201da nationwide effort to promote kindness, acceptance and inclusion \u2014 and students in Milwaukee sang songs from the heart, to take a stand against bullying.<\/p>\n

The term \u201cbullyside\u201d is used by anti-bullying advocates to describe someone so desperate to escape bullying, they take their own life.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never want to watch the news and see the face of one of my students,\u201d said Keith Carrington, North Division High School principal.<\/p>\n

According to the non-profit, Generations Against Bullying, based in Milwaukee, \u201cbullyside\u201d is one of the leading causes of death among Milwaukee kids between the ages of 10 and 14.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho has the power to stop bullying? The students. It\u2019s in your hands,\u201d said James Dean, Generations Against Bullying.<\/p>\n

Mayor Tom Barrett proclaimed October 25th Unity Against Bullying Day. Students in Milwaukee celebrated by raising their voices.<\/p>\n

Songwriter Quinlan Bishop and two MPS arts students together composed an original song \u201cNo More Tears.\u201d The lyrics encourage listeners to stand up to bullying \u2014 and reach out to the bully.<\/p>\n

Advocates believe the best way to stop a bully is with compassion. Ask him or her why they are acting out, and if they need help.<\/p>\n

\u201cGet to know them and find out what\u2019s going on to make you do what you do,\u201d said Bishop.<\/p>\n

Advocates say if a witness to bullying becomes involved in a non-threatening manner, the bully almost always stops in 10 seconds or less.<\/p>\n

Singing may not be the best way to intervene, however, using the words in this tune may be a good place to start.<\/p>\n

The original song \u201cNo More Tears\u201d will be available on iTunes Friday, November 10th.<\/p>\n
