Rob Frenette had problems with bullies (欺辱) at school for eleven years. He was often lonely and scared (害怕的). When he was fifteen, however, he decided to do something about his problems. He walked into a newspaper office and told them about the bullying. His story went into the newspaper and soon all the TV stations in Canada wanted to talk to him about his experiences. They also wanted to hear his ideas to stop bullying.

After that, Rob went on with his studies at school, but in his free time he helped other people with bullying problems. With a friend Katie Neu, he made a website called . Visitors to the website can find advice, stories and poems about bullying, in both English and French. When people are upset, they can talk on the phone or online to Rob and his team. Every weekend Rob has to answer e-mails to the website. He also speaks to children, teachers and members of government around the country about bullying.

Rob’s most important message is: “When bullies are unkind to you, it isn’t your fault (错误). There’s nothing wrong with you, so you should try to keep trusting (相信) yourself. And remember that people care about your problems. You just have to find those people.”

One of Rob’s ideas is “Blue Day”, a special day for stopping bullying in schools. Students have to wear blue clothes and in class they learn how to stop bullying. More than 150 Canadian schools now celebrate Blue Day, but Rob won’t stop until there’s a Blue Day in every school in Canada.
