Indiana student taking down bullies one ‘Buddy Bench’ at a time

It’s hard not to let hurtful words and actions get you down. Bullies come in all sizes and all ages, but a 9-year-old in Harrison County has decided he won’t run from the folks who are giving him trouble.

He will do his best to stop the harassment he is facing one plastic cap and one conversation at a time.

Zachary lives in the close-knit town of Palmyra, Indiana, and his solution to bullying is to make friends, not foes.

“Kids can make a big change in the world,” Zachary proclaimed. “It doesn’t matter what you look like, where you come from, what language you speak.”

Zachary was a guest on WAVE Country with Dawne Gee after his mother wrote a letter to WAVE 3 News explaining his efforts to make a Buddy Bench for his elementary school in Indiana.
