How to Stop the Silence Prevent the Violence

In response to the current issue of adolescent violence and abusive behavior, the Best Friends Foundation has developed the high school Bullying and Relationship Violence Seminar: Stop the Silence, Prevent the Violence.

Quotes from former students...

“The friendships, lessons and morals that I have gained simply from being a part of this program are things that I will cherish throughout my life. I can apply all that I have learned to make the best possible choices.”

Ada Cary, Senior, School Without Walls

“It’s never too late. No matter what mistakes you made in the past, I learned that you don’t have to be stuck in your ways. You always have the option and opportunity to change and be better for yourself.”

Vayasa Hunt, Senior, Anacostia High School

“I learned a lot. Not just about intimate relationships, but life itself. Now, you’ve got friends — use them. They will help you.”

​D’Angelo Anderson, Senior, McKinley Technology High School

“Now I am doing something with my life. This program is about becoming part of a network. Take this as your life lesson.”

Cameron Harris, Senior, McKinley Technology High School
