- an alternative view point on the Walk Out Not Up movement. In most cases of child on child violence, it is the bully that kills their classmate and that is generally true for the young school shooters as well.

- Also, for some of the kids who are shy/awkward/different, Walk Up can backfire pretty badly.
- The Choose Kindness movement (along with reading the book Wonder ) is much better for bullying.
