Teen Smart on Bullying and The Beauty of Different

Teen Smart on Bullying and The Beauty of Different

Posted on 24 May 2011 by Patricia Gras

The Hightower Media Academy created this video to showcase one of the most common problems teens face all over the country, different types of bullying. This video story is the result of our Living Smart show with Karen Walrond on the Beauty of Different. What makes us different is often what makes us unique.

What I am grateful for: I will be doing the Camino de Santiago this year. (St. James Way) I am training and truly excited about it.

What I learned this week: Making decisions many times opens your eyes to new and exciting projects.

I will be speaking about the Camino de Santiago pilgrimmage this Thursday May 26th at 8:30 am. For more information on this workshop go to
