This video was made by 12 year old Jonah Maxwell who is originally from Dublin, but has been living in Chicago with his family for the past five years.
It is being shown in schools in the US, Ireland, and Brazil to nip bullying in the bud before the beginning of the coming academic year.
The video depicts the detrimental effect bullying can have on someone, and encourages anyone going through bullying to speak up, “it doesn’t have to be this way”.
The masks demonstrates how bullies can hide behind social media.
The video reminds us that; “It’s as easy to be nice as it is to be mean, manners and respect cost $0.00”
“If it’s happening to you, you have to tell someone”
