Anti-Bullying: Help Take A Stand.
Fivefreakinfriends is going to have a an anti-bullying week in June. We would like to extend the invite to any and everyone who is against bullying. Although there are many kinds of bullying we are going to focus on name calling and cyber bullying.
We plan on making a 6 minute video filled with as many people as we can possibly fit.
Here’s what you do:
*Record yourself saying 3 things that people have said to you/about you.
*At the end of your video say “I’m (your name here), and I’m taking a stand against bullying!”
*Email fivefreakinfriends the video. Sometimes e-mails won’t let you send a file this large so if you want to send it in parts that’s fine, or you can use SendSpace and send it all at once.
Here is a sample video to help you.
Thank you guys for all of the support! We appreciate it!
This is Collin. He won these AWESOME glasses because he made a video response telling us what was in his wallet!
Christy won these sunglasses for her contribution to our “Continuing Story Week”!
Looking good Christy!
My last post tonight. Please RE-BLOG this if you participate/support the Day Of Silence. Thank you!

Day Of Silence
Tomorrow April 15th, 2011 is 12th annual Day Of Silence. I (Sarah) will be participating in this simple, yet amazing commitment. I would like to encourage all of you guys to participate as well.
The Day of Silence was started 12 years ago to honor a 15 year old boy (Lawrence King) who was killed in school because of his sexual orientation and gender expression.
We have all been bullied at one time or another and I think important that people see that there are “kids” out there who care about what’s going on in society today. Please take the time to read over the website and form your own reasons for doing this.
Of course…we wouldn’t be asking if we didn’t think it was important. To get you guys motivated we are offering some prizes for people that participate…
All you need to do is take a photo of yourself (or friends) demonstrating your “silence”. Get creative because the best 3 will win some wayfarer sunglasses that look like this:
and your picture will be added to our blog. I hope that you guys will take this day seriously and you will let others know that bullying NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES is not OKAY.
-Sarah
P.S. Your photo MUST be tweeted to us! @5freakinfriends
Charity Update!
Freerice- We have collected a total of 20,260 grains of rice! Thats enough to feed a person for a whole day with some extra. Because 5FF video makers can’t win the monthly contest the person in the lead with the most rice is iamEmilyG with 640 grains.
Warmth Matters- Our goal is still to collect 100 pairs of gloves by October 1st. We are also collecting hats and scarfs. Email us at fivefreakinfriends@live.com for the address to mail them to!
