This organization recently visited my school, and I was wondering how many people on AG had heard it and your opinions on it. Will it work or is it a futile attempt to make kids 'lay nice'?

full of emotions and present it to school children?


How the hell does this even matter, anyways her brother is a director, so I don't think the documentary could've been that expensive. It's a non-profit organization for a reason any money they receive in donation goes right back into the organization and employee salaries those that aren't volunteers that is.

He means, that half of the students will rather talk to their friends then watch some video with emotions in them. Where as, a lot of that is perceived as 'what the hell is going on?'.

Although I know what you mean.

Yeah I'm going to have to ask, is it any kind of donation drive? Do the families get anything out of it? Or is it just 'be nice to everyone'?

I've never heard of it. Sounds like a scam to get $$$

be nice to someone else and apparently that will start a chain reaction of niceness and the whole world will be nice to each other

Hahahahaha! Good one! Wait... you're serious? o_O

Nobody really cares about Columbine anymore.

It's a lost cause. I've never heard of her, therefore she's not very important.

I have better things to do in school then have some chick preach to me to be nice. I'll be nice to who I want, and a prick to who I want. Being nice to everyone is rather pathetic.

Her program is fake, or severely delusional.

No. Donating money to a quite a well off family because her daughter died? Lol no.

They don't ask for any money, they tell you that if you wish to you can make a donation. And they help start a club that collects stuff for charity, helps those in need etc.

Basically a donation drive with a choice of donating, with a theme involving the girl? I don't know, seems sort of odd, you know?

No real point except be nice? That's a long shot of a cause in this world.

Exactly, not everyone is going to be nice, just because someone was nice to them. At that point in time, they don't care about who was nice to who.

We have the free thinking ability, thus, not everyone will follow a hive like mind.

Its not asking that you always be nice, its just saying that you should try to take an interest in others instead of being completely stand offish

Yeah, well I already try to do that, but hell, if someone wants to be left alone, I'll leave them alone for their own good, unless other wise.

Be nice to others, by simply saying "Hi" right? Well, most of us try that already. It does not mean, someone will automatically change their opinion of you or anyone else.

Sometimes, kids, people, they have other things going on, and being nice to everyone is the lest of their worries. Not saying the people that are jerks, are all angels, but some of them don't have time to be nice to everyone, or play Mr. Nice guy when someone else is being rude and obscene to them.
