The "Today Show" will soon feature a group of Iowa City teenagers.
Tuesday Morning on NBC, the "Today Show" will have a special feature about anti-bullying efforts. A group of students from Iowa City's own West High will appear on the show talking about their anti-bullying group West High Bros.
The students belong to a group called the West High Bros. They have created the group and its growing web presence to promote their anti-bullying efforts.
The group has utilized social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter to encourage other classmates and send them inspiring and positive messages. The students have even generated positive messages and sent them to some of the staff members at their school.
They have gained nearly 700 followers on Twitter and have even more attention on Facebook, according to reports, and the numbers continue to increase. Some copy groups have even been created in the same idea.
The group was created in response to cyber bullying that had begun to occur in their own city and state. The focus is to send positive thoughts to those that may be having troubles in their area, or people that they know are just having a bad day.
Some of the members remain anonymous, while other members are open about their involvement. Both have their advantages to the students. Some believe that the anonymous messages are more effective because the recipient does not know their friend is encouraging them.
The segment on the show with the appearances from a couple of the members that are open about their involvement will air around 7:30 or 8 a.m.
