Mission Statement
The Stand For The Silent mission is to continue to change kids’ lives and bring awareness to bullying and youth suicide and the real devastation it causes.
About This Cause
Stand for the Silent was started in 2010 by a group students from the Oklahoma State University- Oklahoma City Upward Bound Chapter after they heard the story of Kirk and Laura Smalley’s son, Ty Field-Smalley. At eleven years-old, Ty took his own life after being suspended from school for retaliating against a bully that had been bullying him for over two years. Stand for the Silent exists as a platform to allow Kirk and Laura to share their story and offer education and tools that will prevent their tragedy from happening to another child and family. Kirk and Laura’s mission is to continue to change kids’ lives and bring awareness to bullying and the real devastation it causes. Since May 2010, Kirk and Laura Smalley have traveled to hundreds of schools and spoken with more than 1,030,000 kids and 1017 schools. A new review of studies from 13 countries found signs of an apparent connection between bullying, being bullied, and suicide. Bullying has become an epidemic of epic proportions. The platforms used to bully (in person, social media, websites and apps) continue to keep growing each and everyday. Stand For The Silent travels all around the country talking to kids and adults about the effects that bullying has on the world. We are completely donation funded and could not continue this journey without your help!
