A Westport Junior High School student has posted a YouTube video called “Words are worse than Sticks and Stones” to fight off her bullies.
Meet Alye. A 13-year-old girl from Westport, Conneticut.
This girl, like too many other teens, is going through hell at school because of bullying. Well, this girl was brave enough to speak out. And online no less.
Instead of words, she used signs to express her situation.

Being a fresh foreigner when I started high-school here, I could somewhat relate. I remember the one way to escape bullying was to be a bully yourself. Good times, not. :-(
Anyway, I quickly noticed a video response by a girl named Erica.
In the same sign-fashion, she shares her own experiences with bullying, and how to cope.
