At-a-glance

Members of the Anti-Bulling Club - Stephanie Byrne
Advertising


In September of 2009, Jupiter High student Michelle Looney was inspired to start a club against bullying because she noticed acts of bullying that occurred inside and outside JHS walls. Looney, along with Tom Baker, Maureen Lencki, and Erin Lencki founded the club. This club, the Anti-Bullying Club (ABC), and has been going strong ever since. The Anti-Bullying Club makes an effort in communicating, strategizing, and suggesting ways to cease bullying in JHS and throughout the town of Jupiter.

Currently, the ABC is teaming up with Beacon Cove Intermediate School to host a seminar for elementary-aged students about the consequences of bullying. The ABC is also planning on collaborating with several clubs and organizations around JHS.

According to the club’s President, Tom Baker, bullying is an important issue because it is "both physically and mentally torturing" for its victims. Students in some regions of the country have even felt compelled to take their own lives because of the harassment they face on a day-to-day basis. Baker also said (directed towards bullies), "Put yourself in the victim’s shoes and ask yourself if you’d appreciate being done to you what you do to them."

Baker encourages victims of bullying to come to the ABC meetings to seek help and guidance and to never give up. Baker added, "I would even go as far as to say that bullying is the most important issue in America’s school system today."
