The novel also offers a message of hope: that even one friendship, one act of kindness, or one mentor can make a major difference in the life of a bullied student.
"As we continue to see cases of school bullying escalate, this book serves as a wake-up call," says Katherine. "United We Stand is not just a story; it is a movement to create safer schools, promote inclusivity, and empower students to support one another."
Bullying can lead to serious consequences, including anxiety, depression, and even self-harm. The novel United We Stand motivates its readers to raise their voices through campaigns like the anti-bullying awareness initiative in Jeff's story.
Jeff and Latrelle's friendship encourages students to develop an inclusive culture where students look out for one another. It urges parents to have more open conversations with their children, to get involved, and to be there for them.
