Local kids came together to film an anti-bullying commercial for the Domestic Abuse Council.

Teens from all over Volusia County joined the Domestic Abuse Council Nov. 15, to make a television commercial for anti-bullying.

Sixteen students from University High School, Ormond Beach Middle School, Spruce Creek High School and a home schooled student helped spread the word that it is time to stop bullying and to stop being silent bystanders. DAC received a grant from the General Electric Volunteers Foundation to produce four commercials and a five minute short educational video to raise awareness to end bullying.

The Florida Atlantic Coast Elfuns recommended DAC for this project. The council plans to run the commercials locally and distribute them nationally along with the educational video.
