Bullying through the eyes of middle school students

Students at Monroe Clark Middle School in City Heights in San Diego spent three months documenting bullying incidents through photography. They mapped out where the bullying took place, wrote a description of what occurred and took a photo at that location.

The students were part of the AjA Project, which runs PhotoCity, a participatory photography program that teaches youth to turn the lens outward and critically examine community issues that affect their daily lives. AjA's action-based workshop focuses on bullying, safety and violence prevention.
