The other week, there was a fight in the hallway between two middle schoolers. I was disappointed that they weren't able to talk out their differences and had to use violence. I talked to another student who had seen the play and also witnessed the fight. He reassured me that he remembered the lessons from "just kidding" and it made a difference to him.
The reality is that we sometimes forget lessons taught to us, and most need to be reminded many, many times until we can put life lessons into practice. That is a part of growing up, and we all make mistakes.

we had a bullying program that came to my middle school but it was SUPER cheesy. this sounds like it would be really good. keep us updated on how many kids you are able to reach and how your program develops. :)
This play was well written an kept their attention. The kids laughed, but were extremely quiet during the serious parts. Our "We Care" team talked to the kids afterwards to let them know help is available.
