Many people may be bullies and not even know it. This program challenges students to think about their own behavior with a series of seven questions about physical, verbal, and exclusionary bullying. Questions include: Have you ever punched, shoved, or hit another boy or girl? Do you ever make fun of or tease other students or call them mean names? Do you often make fun of others because they are "different" from you or your friends? Have you purposely not invited someone to hang out with you and your friends? Do you gossip about other people or spread rumors via text messages or through social network sites?
After each question students describe their own experiences as victims and perpetrators of bullying. Their stories and comments by Joel Haber, a leading bullying expert, show how bullying hurts both the person being bullied and the bullies themselves.

It is often true in life that we are judged by the company we keep. For middle-schoolers, finding a healthy group of friends is especially important. This program calls attention to the negative impact that can result from having a "bad" circle of friends-those who are risk takers, betrayers and abusers as well as friends who lie, friends who don't listen, and friends who are overly dependent. A diverse selection of young people describe their own involvement with bad friends, and identify the characteristics that they now seek in their friends.
An adolescent psychologist advises teens who are enmeshed in these types of negative relationships to either change the dynamics of the friendship, or move on to make connections with other, more positive peers. Viewers of Bad Friendships will be provided with important tips on how to make the best of their friendships, and themselves. Teacher's Resource Book includes role plays and other activities designed to build social competence and self-esteem.

Most teens don't like to see their peers bullied but are not sure whether or how to respond. This video offers the empowering message that the most effective way to deal with bullying is through the efforts of those who witness it.

From a distance, Karen and Steve think they see Mike kiss Melanie. They gleefully spread the rumor. When the gossip gets back to them, Mike and melanie are embarrassed, so they tell kids the truth and set the record straight.
Alison overhears bits and pieces of Kyle's talk with the school nurse about his Lyme Diseases. She spreads the rumor that Kyle is highly contagious. Only Sam makes sure he has the facts right. Once the true story is out, the rumor stops.
To impress her friends, Katie makes up the story that her cousin Sabrina is on the Hunior olympics Swim Team. Since what she says isn't mean or hurtful, Katie doesn't think it's a rumor. But Sabrina is upset and insists that Katie set her friends straight.

The Character Chronicles brings character education alive for upper elementary and middle school students. Presented from the point of view of a middle school video blogger, this series explores the six pillars of character trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, citizenship) through the thoughts and personal experiences of young people throughout the U.S. The series contains a variety of entertaining and provocative elements including inspiring documentaries, humorous vignettes, and insightful teen discussions about each of the pillars. These compelling chronicles sparkle with a hip, modern, energetic style that young viewers will love to watch.
Program 1: The Character Chronicles: The Trust Connection
The Trust Connection begins with Judy, our Asian American middle school blogger, presenting a video vignette, shot on the streets of New York City, reflecting on the role of trust in every day life. She then introduces a group of teens who tell moving stories about losing and regaining trust with friends and family. That essay is punctuated by a short dramatic skit about the new kid in school who lied to fit in. This combination of elements is bound to provoke moving discussions about honesty and trustworthiness in the classroom.
Program 2: The Character Chronicles: The Respect Connection
Our video blogger covers the subject of Respect in a combination of a video essay about respect in our daily lives, a documentary about a group of teens in Georgia who learn about respecting our planet, and a flash animation dialogue between our blogger host and a mighty disappointed Mother Earth. The program opens with a dramatic skit about a middle school student who can't get respect from his classmates and the sorrowful impact that has on him. The sum total of these elements reinforces the importance of respect in everything we do and in all the choices we make.
Program 3: The Character Chronicles: The Responsibility Connection
Responsibility is presented by our video blogger in a dynamic combination of a teen discussion and two moving documentaries. The first documentary is about a young, irresponsible African American teen in California who decides to turn her life around. One day she looked at her bullying behavior and realized that she was making herself and her classmates miserable. So she decided to focus on her studies while setting her sights on attending college when she is older. The second documentary is about an Asian teen in Rhode Island who is distressed about e-waste. That is computers and other high tech devices that are poisoning our environment. So Alexander and his friends are doing something to correct the problem. They are truly showing social responsibility in action.
Program 4: The Character Chronicles: The Fairness Connection
As soon as children are able to speak they often complain, "No Fair." With that as a point of departure, our African-American blogger covers the topic of Fairness by presenting some teen discussion and two documentaries. The first documentary is about a Teen Court in an Indiana middle school that exemplifies fairness in its every day practice. The second documentary tells the story of Michael Pesci, an 11 year old boy in New Jersey with natural athletic ability, who uses his talent to literally "level the playing field." He established a charity to help children less privileged because he didn't feel it was fair that they didn't have the same opportunities that he has.
Program 5: The Character Chronicles: The Caring Connection
Our Indian blogger shows inspiring stories and teen discussions to demonstrate that caring is about doing, not simply feeling. The first documentary features Nicolas Mejia, a cancer survivor/amputee who helps other children get through hard times. Our second documentary reveals how all it took for Kassandra Gonzalves in Massachusetts was to read an article about how foster children usually carry their belongings from house to house in garbage bags. So she organizes groups of kids to make hand made goodie bags for these foster children. In her summary our blogger encourages other kids to become caring people by doing caring things, and tells them if we want to make a difference in this world, it's simply up to us.
Program 6: The Character Chronicles: The Citizenship Connection
Malik, our African American middle school blogger, covers the topic through a combination of teen discussions and two documentaries about Citizenship in action. The first is about Michelle Loke in Wisconsin who out of concern for her younger brother found lead in children's toys and stopped stores from putting them in vending machines. The second documentary is about a group of teens in Illinois who formed a club to perform community service. All the sections in this program are designed to show other young teens that they have the power to make a real difference in their communities.

Explores why young students may resort to cheating. More importantly, it challenges viewers to consider their own values and integrity. Dramatic scenarios portray different types of cheating: a student copies a friend's homework because she fears she doesn't have enough time to do the work herself; a boy enhances his essay by plagiarizing articles on the Internet; a tennis player tries to avoid being cut from a team by falsely calling her opponent's balls out; a high-achieving student must decide whether to give a popular student test answers as a sign of friendship. After each scenario, a moderator asks viewers about the characters' choices, what the potential consequences are, and what values should be considered when making such choices.

This compelling DVD is designed to raise students' awareness of a very real, yet often overlooked, form of abuse: emotional violence. The program describes emotional violence as one person saying something that is hurtful to another. These hurtful words may include threats, bullying, and intimidation-anything which causes feelings of humiliation, fear, or worthlessness on the part of the victim. The program describes the causes of many different types of emotional abuse: men to women, husbands to wives, parents to children, adults to children, and group to group. Viewers of Hurting with Words will understand that there are many successful methods of dealing with people who are verbally or emotionally abusive, as the DVD and Teacher's Resource Book provide suggestions for how to avoid typical situations.

Intense emotions are part of every teen's life. Too often, however, these emotions spill over into "dramas" with groups of kids reacting to and escalating the impact of the drama. The by-product is a ripple of emotional chaos that extends beyond the group members and can negatively affect the atmosphere of the school.
Using four "real life" scenarios, the program enables viewers to recognize emotional "drama" and helps them find legitimate ways to handle intense emotions. In one scenario, news of Jenna and Kyle's break-up travels through the school via cell phones, blogs and gossip. Jenna goes ballistic as groups of friends take sides and escalate the problem.
Each scenario is used to underscore teaching points and strategies for coping with strong emotions, to understand why drama often overwhelms an emotionally charged situation, and to learn "drama avoidance" skills.

National studies warn that many of today's teens have failed to develop vital emotional abilities they will need to go through life. Some of these emotional abilities are handling conflict, planning ahead, resisting anxiety, and learning to control hot-tempered reactions. Using real life scenarios, this program actually teaches students emotional self-control by showing them four basic ways to evaluate their own feelings and understand when they might be moving in the wrong direction. Teenagers will learn to: check their feelings, stop and think about what they want to say or do, consider the other person's perspective and lastly, act in a way that makes them proud. The program also emphasizes a wide range of crucial concepts like: impulse control, managing anger and anxiety, empathy, sensitivity, and conflict resolution. Extensive activities and assignments in the teacher's resource book coordinate with frequent discussion pauses in the DVD for class participation to reinforce skills spotlighted in the DVD.

This DVD helps students identify inappropriate angry behaviors and learn new ways to cope with these strong emotions. Students will observe real teens participating in a workshop led by a clinical psychologist. After these teens act out the different ways we all express anger, your students are challenged to identify their own styles of anger expression: aggressive, passive, displacement, or denial. Next, students are encouraged to examine why they express anger the way they do. Finally, students are encouraged to find new and healthier ways to express anger. These include replaying situations, talking it out with a friend, and building their own self-esteem.

Even for adults, it can be challenging to figure out what actions and words constitute flirting and what behaviors cross the boundaries into sexual harassment. For middle schoolers, who are just making their entry into a more complex social world, these distinctions are often beyond their grasp. This program uses a blend of realistic dramatic scenarios, on-screen narrators and a round table discussion featuring real students to show young viewers the difference between real flirting (welcome, wanted, respectful and fun) and hurting (unwelcome, unwanted, one-sided, makes you feel bad). Viewers learn what it means to cross the line-whether in person, through texting or on-line-and are reminded of the serious consequences for both the target and the harasser. Helpful "flirting" tips are offered by an expert as well as advice on how to react to behaviors that are not appropriate or welcome.

Hazing commonly involves physically abusive, emotionally degrading and/or sexually violating acts that are used as a way to initiate a person into a group. This program examines the growing surge of hazing incidents at high schools around the country, and distinguishes between different types of hazing practiced by girls and boys alike-brutal social humiliations, tortuous physical endurance ceremonies, online cyberbullying and more. Viewers hear from nationally-prominent authors on the topic as well as real-life victims who share their harrowing stories. Teens may not realize that hazing is not a harmless "rite of passage" but instead is a degrading, damaging and illegal assault. Program discusses the code of silence that often keeps witnesses and participants from coming forth to stop the abuse. Interviews offer words of support for hazing victims and those who may be drawn into participating.

Research shows that a majority of young teens report having bullied someone or have been bullied. Many do both. Few know how to handle it. Parents need to be actively involved in helping their children recognize and cope with bullying, whether subtle or overt, whether the bully or the victim. The most important message parents can communicate is that bullying is wrong and will not be tolerated in any form.
Program helps parents realize that young teens have a difficult time understanding how taunting and put-downs can hurt others deeply. Parents learn to recognize the warning signs that their child is being bullied before the situation gets out of hand, and what they can do about it. They learn to identify bullying behaviors in their own children, and to recognize the more subtle, but still hurtful forms of bullying such as ostracism. Includes effective strategies for communicating expectations, empowering kids to resist bullying, and dealing with cyberbullying.

This three-part series relies upon familiar situations to teach young viewers many essential communication skills. Engaging vignettes demonstrate the importance of listening attentively, making eye contact, asking questions for clarification, and being respectful of others. The series also helps young viewers understand the importance of the non-verbal messages that we send through our body language and tone of voice. A wide range of age-appropriate tips are offered for how to become a better speaker and listener.
Part 1, Now That's Good Listening, reminds viewers that being a good listener requires more than just the ability to hear. Good listeners use their ears, eyes and brains. Listening means stopping what you are doing, looking at the speaker, paying attention to verbal cues or "signal phrases" that alert you to important information, repeating what you have heard in your own words, and asking question to clarify.
Part 2, Now That's Good Speaking, introduces topics such as using an appropriate tone of voice, sticking to a simple, uncluttered message, avoiding slang, maintaining emotional control and more. Special attention is given to how awkward body language-such as squirming or avoiding eye contact-can alter or contradict our spoken words. Tips include taking a deep breath, planning your words ahead of time and using "I" messages.
Part 3, Communication Spoilers, sheds light on many common problems in communication-such as interrupting, criticizing, creating distractions, monopolizing the conversation or ignoring what others are saying. Viewers are reminded that good communication is only possible when we all respect one another. Other examples of communication spoilers are provided: argumentative speakers who blame or criticize others, and those who resort to name-calling instead of productive dialogue.

This energetic DVD is sure to grab your students' attention as it explores the important topic of name-calling. Experts agree that bullying and harassment in school usually starts with name-calling.

Viewers will follow a classroom of real students as they work on inaugurating a "No Name-Calling" week at their school. Interviews with real kids are interspersed with dramatic vignettes that model name-calling scenarios which many viewers will recognize. The DVD clearly states why this kind of harassment is unfair, painful and perhaps even illegal. Additionally, the DVD offers constructive ways for creating a positive school environment where everyone will feel safe and free to learn.

Caught up trying to fit in and please others, students often engage in harsh self-judgment and self-blame that can negatively affect their health, school work, behavior and happiness. Using creative visual imagery, as well as listening to and learning from real middle-school students, program models the path to self-acceptance. Video immediately captures students' attention as a humorous teen presenter declares, "I'm perfect." The screen then fills up with images of the same teen representing his strengths and weaknesses. It soon becomes clear that the presenter, as well as each of us, comes with personal assets and liabilities, and that all of us are imperfect. Discusses key issues of self-acceptance including: What is self-acceptance? Why do we look for perfection in ourselves? How does the media influence our self perception? How do our peers influence the way we think about ourselves? What steps can we take to get to know ourselves better and appreciate ourselves warts and all?

This DVD delves into several types of conflicts your middle school students face at home, at school and in their neighborhoods. By using dramatic scenes, depicting common conflicts between parents, teachers and friends, and by hearing healthy solutions from real teens about how they deal with conflicts, viewers are challenged to reevaluate their own style of conflict resolution.
Along the way, your classroom will learn why bullying, sarcasm, using threats, shouting or hitting are not effective ways to resolve conflicts. They will learn that useful skills like putting yourself in others' shoes, showing respect for others' authority and opinions and taking time out to think about how you really feel, are all ways kids can understand conflict better and diffuse a situation before losing control. Extensive print material encourages your students to expand and reinforce the visual lesson.

For teens and pre-teens, staying true to oneself can be a tough act to pull off. This program, presented in a drama format, presents five scenarios where teens are asked to make critical decisions in typical peer pressure situations - whether to raid a liquor cabinet when the parents are not home, teasing and bullying a vulnerable kid out of sight of teachers and parents, excluding a girl from their regular lunch table, being pressured to shoplift in a local mall and being tempted to cheat on an exam because other teens got advance copies of the test. In each scenario, the action stops at a critical juncture and students review six steps to making the right choice: listen to your inner voice, what would you do if you were alone, take a time out, imagine your parents are watching you, is it against the law and finally, is it worth the risk?

One of the most important social skills children need to learn is how to behave in ways that help them forge connections to others. To be at ease among others and to give and receive emotional support requires the ability to imagine oneself in someone else's place. This program defines the word "considerate" as caring about how another person feels. Using age-appropriate scenarios to make and reinforce its points and a lively host to move the stories along, this program shows students positive ways to show consideration, such as treating others the way they would like to be treated and being helpful, even without being asked. It shows young children how being polite and helpful to others not only can help them get along better with others but also make them feel better about themselves. After viewing this program, students will recognize the difference between being considerate and inconsiderate; understand why it's important for them to treat others as they would like to be treated; and learn that the best way to understand another's feelings is to think about how they might feel in the same situation.

Middle school years are the prime time when kids "make fun" of each other for differences in clothing, speech, physical traits and ethnicity. This DVD, consisting of four dramatic scenes and real-life interviews will challenge your students to look at each scene and determine what they would do in each situation.
In the first scene we meet Miguel, a talented basketball player whose clothing doesn't seem to measure up to another boy's standards. Students are asked whether it was fair for the other boy to judge Miguel based on his clothes.
Next we meet Stephanie. She is an out-going teenager but needs a wheel chair to move around. The question this time is whether the comments made by her classmates that she seems "different," are true.
Spencer's mother can't go to his science fair because she has to work. When he trips Jodie during class the next day and calls her names, your students are asked why they think Spencer mistreated her.
Kyle has a weight problem. When his classmates make fun of him as he plays basketball, your students are asked what options Kyle has to deal with his negative feelings.
The program concludes with a section called "Tools for Tolerance" which demonstrates that the tools of empathy, respect, acceptance, and forgiveness can be used to develop more tolerant attitudes.

The DVD and print curriculum show how acts of discrimination can be turned into positive lessons of affirmation and hope. Viewers are introduced to children who are blazing their own trails by understanding and appreciating what it means to be different.
This three-part series, narrated by Susan Sarandon, tells the stories of nine children, each of whom relates a personal story of how they witnessed or were the victim of an act of unkindness because they were perceived to be different. We meet children like Carl, with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Yanili, who describes what it's like coming from a Spanish speaking country and trying to make new friends, and Nicole who poignantly describes her reaction to a hate crime in her town when KKK was spray painted on a neighbor's house. In each case, viewers see-how they rose above their painful situations and learned important lessons about tolerance, respect and diversity.

This age-appropriate program helps children understand that words can hurt-whether the insults are intentional or the inadvertent result of "trying to be funny." Four common school and home vignettes identify the power of words: a know-it-all who tries to boss others around, a playground bully who enjoys picking on other children, a teacher's pet who relishes seeing other students make mistakes, and an older sibling whose sarcastic banter distresses her little brother. Each vignette includes a positive outcome where children find a way to stand up for themselves and overcome the power of hurtful words. Techniques include: Stand Up for Yourself, Ignore the Bully, Explain How the Words Make You Feel, and Seek Help From an Adult.

Likeable on-camera hosts guide young viewers through a series of humorous vignettes, helping them identify rude behaviors and recognize why they don't work-and often interfere with good communication. In each case, viewers are reminded that being rude isn't funny, cool or useful. Includes demonstrating good manners such as saying "please" and "thank you," properly addressing people in authority (especially teachers!), being considerate of people's feelings and using good manners at the dinner table. Program also reminds students that saying "shut up," interrupting others, displaying inappropriate public behavior (like burping), and hurting others' feelings as a joke is simply not cool. Viewers see that using good manners shows respect for themselves and others, and is a valuable sign of maturity, which adults are sure to notice.
