Bullying is a serious issue that is widespread in our schools, communities, and on
social media. Over this past year, all youth councils were called to action to take
a stand against bullying and help raise awareness about this issue that impacts
youth around the county. Each Star Lights Youth Council was encouraged to
submit a 3-5 minute anti-bullying short film. We are proud of the research and
creativity put into each of the video submissions. Please take some time to
view all the video submissions on our Facebook page. Congratulations are in
order for our top three videos.

POSITIVITY CORNER
3 THINGS YOU CAN’T CHANGE - by Jeff Yalden
There are 3 things you can't change.... people, places and
things. The three things you can change are the people you
associate with, the places you go and the things you do. Re-
ality is the only power of change you really have is the power
to change the person you are. Do you ever look into the mir-
ror and look at your life in phases.....where you been, where
your are and where you're going. Let's not blame our life on
the circumstances around us but let's have the courage to
look in the mirror and realize the things you can't change
and accept the things you can change..... that's your attitude
and your choices.
