Edgy, isn’t it? “The New F Word” is a new anti-bullying campaign started by the Friend Movement featuring celebrities likes Lance Bass, LeAnn Rimes and others “flipping the bird” to bullying. You can view their anti-bullying celebrity promotional posters on their website.
For bullied students, mention of the the “F word” brings up memories of their peers shouting profanities like fatty, faggot, freak at them in the halls. The Friend Movement aims to change that by promoting a different F word: Friend.
Check out the video below explaining the New F Word campaign.
