Alye Pollack is a 13-year-old student at Westport Junior High in Westport, Connecticticut.
She’s says she’s been bullied at school every day since sixth grade. In response, she created this wordless YouTube video, “Words are worse than Sticks and Stones.” It’s caught on and now has over 35,000 views. Pollack’s mother didn’t even find out about the video until it was posted online.

Someone needs to help her deal with bullying because it won’t stop just because she asked them to.
When I was 14 years of age, I transferred to a new school for one semester. It was my freshman year. The kids there teased and bullied me. No matter what I did, it just got worse. Looking back, it was because I had no back-up, no posse. No one knew me. Plus, I was going through an awkward stage. It was very painful. It had never happened before.
