Storytelling in comics: Stop School Bullying!

Storytelling in comics: Stop School Bullying! is a project that makes a series of e-comic stories that can be read on mobile phones to stop bullying among high school students. It hopes to use e-comics to tell memorable stories that let people empathize with Victim's situations and Bullies, Bystanders, and Victims reconsider their behaviors.

Why did you start the project and what are you most excited about it?

School bullying is a problem that needs to be solved. It can be told by both the statistics and our personal experiences. 12-16 years old is an important stage for establishing a world outlook. And they seem to be more likely to conflict with others. After students’ long school days or an exhausting week, reading e-comics is an excellent way to relax instead of reading paragraphs. E-comics are also easy to reach. It can be read on mobile phones on the way to school. So we hope e-comics can help in a more influential way.
