"If you see something, say something."

State Trooper George H Murphy Jr. says kids need to speak up when they notice something out of the ordinary.
"Studies show up to 20,000 children and teenagers die each year from bullying and that's mostly from suicides," Trooper Murphy said.
A number that can decrease if students just realize the difference they can make.
"We really need the kids to think of it differently, and to get behind this problem," he said. "As adults, we can work to diminish it, but the students can stop it, by interacting and taking action against bullying."
