By Charlotte Robinson, April 05, 2013

With the epidemic of bullying in our schools especially for lesbian, gay, bisexual & transgender teens, WWE Superstars Brodus Clay, Tensai, Hornswoggle, WWE Divas Naomi, Cameron, Announcer Josh Mathews have teamed up with The Creative Coalition CEO Robin Bronk & will speak to hundreds of students & staff of New York & New Jersey Boys & Girls Clubs at WrestleMania Axxess about taking positive steps to eliminate bullying in our society. This is part of the Be a STAR anti-bullying alliance, co-founded by WWE & The Creative Coalition. WWE & The Creative Coalition launched the anti-bullying alliance, Be a STAR (Show Tolerance & Respect), to provide students with positive tools to prevent bullying in their schools & communities. The mission of Be a STAR is to ensure a positive and equitable social environment for everyone regardless of age, race, religion or sexual orientation through education & awareness. This is all happening Friday April 5th 4:30-5:15P at WrestleMania Axxess at Izod Center 50 State Route 120 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. As you know LGBTQ teens are up to four times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers & numerous teens continue to take their own lives after facing bullying incidents.
