Rob Frenette had problems with bullying(欺辱)at
school for eleven years. He was often lonely and scared. When he was fifteen,
however decided to do something about his problems. He walked into a newspaper
office and told them about the bullying. His story went into the newspaper and
soon all the TV stations in Canada wanted to talk to him about his experiences.
They also wanted to hear his ideas of stopping bullying.
After that, Rob continued his studies at school,
but in his free time he helped other people with bullying problems. With a
friend Katie Neu he made a website called www.bull yingcanada.ca. Visitors to
the website can find advice, stories and poems about bullying, in both English
and French. When people are upset, they can talk on the phone or online to Rob
and his team. Every weekend Rob has to answer emails on the website. He also speaks
to children, teachers and members of the government around the country about bullying.
Rob's most important message is; When bullies
are unkind to you, it isn't your fault here's nothing wrong with you, so you should
try to keep trusting yourself. And remember that people care about your
problems. You just have to find those people.
One of Rob's idea is "Blue Day",
a special day for stopping bullying in schools. Students have to wear blue
clothes and in class they learn how to stop bullying. More than 150 Canadian
schools now celebrate Blue Day, but Rob won't stop until there's a Blue Day in
every school in Canada.
