Under the surface in every school there are problems that, if kept secret and unexplored, can lead to explosive crises. In this program, students are encouraged to break the silence about hate and violence and are shown why they must stop keeping dangerous secrets about their friends and fellow students. By exploring the hidden conflicts and unspoken pain that are the breeding grounds of violence, students learn to identify potential flashpoints in their schools, as well as signs of stress in their friends and fellow students. They are shown appropriate ways to get adult help in troubling or frightening situations and how they can become the “early warning system” in their schools by reporting threats of violence, and expressions of hate. Issues of student privacy, secrets between friends and tattling are explored as students learn their fundamental responsibility to keep adults informed about potential violence.
