Ted DiBiase, Brodus Clay, Cameron, Naomi and Josh Mathews led the rally, which took place just days before WWE’s Royal Rumble hits Phoenix’s US Airways Center. After a welcome by Herrera Elementary School counselor Julia Hubbard, the seventh- and eighth-graders listened to the Superstars’ and Divas’ personal messages about how they’ve been affected by bullying.

They explained the different forms of bullying, such as cyber, physical and verbal, and encouraged the students to be a STAR by not being bystanders and standing up to bullies and telling a parent, teacher or guardian when they’re having issues with bullies. They also spoke about using the Internet and social media as a way to send positive, respectful messages.

Finally, the Superstars and Divas led the Herrera Elementary School students in a rousing rendition of the “be a STAR chant.”

One out of every four children is bullied, and a child is bullied every seven minutes, whether it’s cyber, physical or verbal. Through WWE and The Creative Coalition’s campaign, children around the globe are encouraged to “be a STAR: Show Tolerance And Respect.”
