7Osborn-Adolescent / Bullying

New show called If You Really Knew MeReality series that goes into real high schools

and tries to breakdown stereotypes and subcultures through exercises and unite students

Students usually are more aware of other students feelings and situations by end of program and make a pact not to pick on others and to be more open to all

Viewers are moved and show could possibly instill a shared value among viewers to be responsive to bullying instead of being bystanders, or to not bully

Could MTV be spreading awareness ?
