School pyschologist, Caryn Huss lead students at AYA Academy, the Bronx High School Long-Term Suspension Center in a discussion about diversity and bullying with the help of the film,
Bullied: A Student, a School and a Case that Made History.
Afterwards, students created a
Zero Tolerance for Bullying Wall citing statistics with space for individuals to speak out anonymously. Each member of the school community was given a bullying brick to add his/her bullying experience to the wall. Bricks were discreetly collected in an envelope and then posted on the wall as a reminder of how we should behave towards one another.

Zero Tolerance for Bullying Wall.
