Because of You is a movement that encourages teens to reflect on the power of their words and actions and consider how they are affecting others. While only one-third of teens list bullying as a top concern, twice as many say they regularly experience behaviors like drama, teasing, and exclusion. The Ad Council worked with Hallmark to bring lessons around this topic into the classroom in a relatable way, using videos and activities.
