Within online curriculum being created at CartoonNetwork.com in partnership with Health Resources and Services Administration's (HRSA) "Stop Bullying Now!" (stopbullyingnow.hrsa.gov) and through key links to partnering organizations, kids and parents alike will be presented with engaging materials providing researched and recommended response actions to a variety of possible bystander circumstances.  The material will include tactics bystanders can use to interrupt and address bullying, techniques for turning passive bystanders into active bystanders, further information about the impact bystander behaviors can have in bullying situations; and suggestions for what kids can do proactively to help stop bullying from happening in the first place.

Coinciding with the campaign will be on-air and online reporting on CNN, HLN, CNN.com and CNN Student News to augment the country's awareness of bullying prevention issues through a series of editorial reports. Projected news stories will cover such issues as its psychological affects on children and families, its presence both on school campuses and on popular social websites, and political issues involving state mandated response from teachers and other authorities when bullying reports are filed.  CNN's award-winning iReport, where people take part in the news with CNN, also will be collecting first-hand stories around the country this summer from victims and/or witnesses of bullying scenes describing what happened and how they responded to the situation.
