Rob Frenette, a Canadian boy, was often bullied (欺凌)at school. He was often lonely and scared. When he was fifteen, however, he decided to do something about his problems. He walked into a newspaper office and told them about the bullying. His story went into the newspaper and soon, all the TV stations in Canada wanted to talk to him about his experiences. They also wanted to hear his ideas about how to stop bullying.
In his free time after school, Rob helps other people with bullying problems.
With his friend Katie Neu, he set up the website www. bullyingcanada.ca. On the website, visitors can find advice, stories and poems about bullying, in both English and French. When people are upset, they can talk on the phone or online to Rob and his team.
Every weekend, Rob answers e-mails from people who have been bullied at school. He also speaks to children and teachers around Canada about bullying.
Rob's most important message is: "When you're bullied, there's nothing wrong with you. So, keep trusting yourself. And remember that there are people who care about your problems. You just have to find those people. "
One of Rob's ideas is "Blue Day", a special day that works to stop the problem of bullying in schools. On that day, students have to wear blue clothes, and in class, they learn how to stop bullying from happening. More than 150 Canadian schools now celebrate Blue Day. Rob says he won't stop until there is Blue Day in every school in Canada.
