GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Students at one local school got the chance Monday to hear about the potentially serious consequences of bullying.
Kirk Smalley’s anti-bullying presentation ‘Stand for the Silent’ was shared with eighth graders at Green Bay’s Washington Middle School.
Smalley and his wife have spoken with kids across the country since their 11-year-old son killed himself in 2010 after being the victim of bullying.
“We decided we couldn’t live in a world where that was happening so frequently without doing everything we could to make it stop. It makes me feel good that I can make an impact on a young person’s life.”
The $2,500 dollars needed to bring the Smalleys to Green Bay was collected by two Allouez girls who held a lemonade stand last summer.
