1. Print out the Guide Book 


I asked 350 people from around the world how they recovered from being bullied and body shamed.  Most said some version of the same thing:  1. They looked INWARD, 2. they looked OUTWARD, and 3. they looked FORWARD.

Some of their advice on how they specificially they did this is condensed in this 8-page booklet. There are 11 exercises that guide you through the same types of things they did.

After reflecting on these exercises and after writing out your answers in the guide book, consider sharing it with trusted adult or a close friend.  Sharing helps.

2.  Post the Infographic in Your Room


I'm a teenager, so I know how hard it can be to lock in on things and put them into action.  

I recommend printing this infographic out and taping a copy or two in your bedroom.  This will help remind yourself there is a way forward.  Instead of focusing on how bad you feel, you'll focus on the things you can do.

It's got some great quotes from people in the study which are worth rereading until you eventually internalize them.

3.  Watch This


​Sometimes it's easier to watch something than to read.

Here's a video of how this The Third Look program started and how it helps people.  

Nothing fancy, but people find it helps them put things in perspective, shows them a way forward, and gives them encouragement.

4. Share the Discussion Guide


​Maybe you're in a youth group outside of school -- like 4-H, Girl Scouts, or a church youth group.  

Telling your leader that this might be an interesting topic to discuss could lead to something good.

Youth leaders share how they would use the discussion guide and the program with the youth who they work with. These leaders range from school counselors, shelter directors, Sunday School teachers, Temple programer, therapist, and a clinic director.

5.  Make a Punchy Speech

If you ever have to make a presentation and you want to talk about bullying or body shaming, you can download and modify this one.  Personalize it so it has your voice and your personality.  Make it your own.  Permission granted!
