VIDEO: Anne Hathaway and Celeb Friends In Anti Bullying PSA

Anne Hathaway, Ian Somerhalder and Jenny McCarthy have joined the battle against high school bullying by filming a new public service announcement (PSA) following a spate of teenage suicides across America.

Kristin Cavallari and Julie Benz also get serious in the video for The Trevor Project, a non-profit group dedicated to helping youths who are struggling with their sexuality.

The video comes at a time when America is coming to terms with a number of suicides linked to sexuality and bullying the most recent, the death of 18-year-old Tyler Clementi last week, sparked outrage after it was revealed his college roommate allegedly posted footage of him having sex with another man online.

And the celebs are urging troubled teens to seek professional support if they are being targeted. Hathaway says, "It gets better. If you or a friend are feeling lost and lonely there's someone who can help. There is hope and there is help. Call The Trevor Project."

"The Hills" star Cavallari adds, "If you're being bullied in school, you're not alone. Don't give up.      Source

The Time to Act Against Bullying is Now!

A group called Parents Advocacy Committee for Educational Rights (PACER) has hosted a National Bullying Prevention week for the past four years. This year they are observing this week as usual but have also expanded the event through the month of October.

Make Oct. 20, 2010, the day that bullying prevention is heard about the world!

From California to Connecticut, from Minnesota to Mississippi, join together and shout, “The End of Bullying Begins with Me!” 

Then keep the message moving, from North America to Europe, from South America to Africa, from Australia to Asia.

Stand with others around your town and around the world to raise awareness of an issue that has affected so many for so long.

Whether you are a student or a parent, with a school or an organization, raise your voice any way you can. Sing it, say it, tweet it, text it, blog it, post it, dance it.

Efforts large and small are all equally important.


More than 160,000 U.S. students stay home from school each day from fear of being bullied. No one should have to fear going to school. Unite with others and add your voice to the online petition.
