Bullied children survive, says poet Shane Koyczan; but not because, unlike sticks and stones, "names will never hurt me." The torment wounds profoundly and the damage can be lifelong. "We stem from a root planted in the beilief that we are not what we are called... Our lives are a balancing act that has less to do with pain and more to do with beauty." With this recital of his celebrated poem, "To This Day", Shane gives the backstory of his own harrowing childhood experience and speaks against a spectacular backdrop of crowsourced animation depicting the all-too-frequent cruelty of the schoolyard.
