"Silent" bullying videos speak volumes

SOUTH CHARLESTON, Ohio (WDTN) - They're two students who spent three months and countless lunch hours filming a pair of videos, but when they finally unveil them to students Wednesday you won't hear them utter a single word in either one.

"We thought if we could make a video we could reach out to not only our school but to a greater audience," says Tyler Gregory, a Southeastern High School senior who helped make the videos along with junior Scott Hannah.

They may not speak in their videos on bullying, but Gregory and Hannah are far from silent on the topic.

"We started looking for bullying and we realized there was a lot," Hannah says.

So they created two videos. One is a tribute to those who were bullied to the point of taking their own lives. It features news stories about the cases, along with pictures of the victims, set to a haunting track of music.

The other is a look at the pain bullying can cause using students holding signs and a song, an original written by a family friend of Scott's.

Even though they don't feature any talking, Scott and Tyler hope when their fellow students watch the videos on Wednesday, they'll speak volumes about the impact of bullying.

"I see it all the time and it's terrible because you put yourself in their shoes and it's a place you don't want to be," Gregory says.

About the videos Hannah says, "I think they will change people's minds and I think the next time they write something on Facebook they'll think twice."

The videos have been entered in the Great American No Bull Challenge. You can vote for Scott and Tyler's videos starting March 15 to be among the 15 finalists.
