On November 19, 2010 all the grades at UAI had a day called the “Sister-to-Sister Rally.” This anti-bullying day involved a lot of different topics and activities that included a photo gallery and a movie that topped the day off. The girls watched Lifetime’s original movie called Odd Girl Out.
Although the day caused emotional pain for many, this day was also an eye opener for most of the girls at UAI into what bullying can really do to people. Some topics that were brought up during the day were the Holocaust, the genocide in Rwanda, civil rights, segregation, and present day bullying. Since bullying has increased over the decades and centuries, present day has really come far.
A lot of bullying takes place in school. When these victims get bullied they go home and cry and then when it becomes too much some take it to the fullest extent…suicide.
Before the “Sister-to-Sister Rally” some girls asked their teachers, “Why do we have to have this day? Why does it matter? How does it affect me?” As the day came to a close many girls began asking, “How can I help? What can I do? When is the next “Sister-to-Sister Rally?”
We thought that this day was a great, great idea and would love to give props to the person who thought of it. If this day wasn’t thought of the school wouldn’t be the way it is today. The more people in the UAI community that stop bullying, the safer environment that we will have at our school.
