This was encouraging to see! From Whedonopolis:

Anti-Bullying Coalition at San Diego Comic Con International 2013
July 23, 2013

San Diego Comic Con is known for many things, among them comics themselves, toys, models, superheroes, cosplay, genre author signings, artist exhibits, big and small screen talent on panels and fans clamoring for all of the above in a generous 4 and half day extravaganza. But one thing that lies underneath the façade of happy, satisfied and usually tired faces is a darkness that persists and never seems to be addressed at such a large genre gathering: Bullying.

In the afternoon, Carrie was the moderator for the 1st anti-bullying panel at SDCC — and really, any large scale genre convention — called “End Bullying! Responding to Cruelty in Our Culture.” After introductions, Carrie asked the audience to raise our hands if we’ve ever been the target of bullying at any point in our lives. Every hand was raised. Then she followed up asking if we still vividly recall the details of that bullying, and again all hands remained raised. She used that drill the point home that bullying isn’t a fleeting action of the moment, but that it affects us and stays with us and can impact who we are as adults, which is why it’s so critical to address bullying as early as possible with kids.

Books that 2 authors who were involved with this effort wrote:
Harper Collins’ Bullied: What Every Parent, Teacher, and Kid Needs to Know About Ending the Cycle of Fear , 2012 by Carrie Goldman
Girls Against Girls: Why We Are Mean to Each Other and How We Can Change by Bonnie Burton

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
