More than 130 students, anti-bullying experts, and key stakeholders came together at British Columbia's ERASE Bullying Summit to identify key priorities and actions that will help school, communities and individuals work together to combat bullying.

At the ERASE (Expect Respect and A Safe Education) Bullying Summit participants shared their views on how to best deal with bullying and bring about the changes needed to create safe inclusive schools and communities. The audience also heard compelling personal stories from students about the impact bullying has had on their lives.

Summit participants also discussed cyberbullying - the newest form of bullying, and how the anonymity of technology has given bullies new weapons like text messaging, chat rooms, and social media outlets to intimidate people.
