Amber Wood of Winchendon wins Gold Award for her efforts to raise awareness of bullying in schools
Staff report
WINCHENDON To help counteract the nationwide problem of bullying among young people, Gold Award Girl Scout Amber Wood of Winchendon created a curriculum, website and Instagram page addressing the problem of bullies in school.
Wood, 19, participated in a Girl Scout troop in nearby Jaffrey, N.H. She created her PowerPoint presentation just as the COVID-19 pandemic began last year and had to readjust her plans to present her curriculum to middle school and high school-age students.
“I decided this was a good topic because I have personally been bullied and know many people who have,” said Wood. “Also, it’s a very serious topic worldwide.”
A Sam Houston High School junior alleges he’s endured bullying for years but says what happened to him earlier this month was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
A message that threatened black students was found Friday afternoon at Chesapeake High School. The incident is the latest in a string of racist acts at the Pasadena school.
