Who We Are
You’re You is a non-profit organization that just began in December of 2010 giving children a reason to think twice before hurting someone else through cyber space. Currently 42% of our local children deal with internet bullying and half of this is happening as we speak. A general 35% have been bullied in some for fashion.
You're You focuses on the need to give more thought on things that are overlooked. Most people are not aware that the rate of suicides among children ages 10 and up has gone up a full 29% in the past SIX months! Knowing that our children are our future leaves us questioning our fate. We need to preserve our tomorrow by working with our children today.You're You creates show cases with actors, music and dance gifts to symbolize that you don’t have to be anyone else but YOU. People pick on their peers most often because they don’t want to be an outcast, but a simple gesture of trying to fit can destroy someone’s life forever and leave a lasting effect on a family for the next years to come.
What We Do
You're You holds local plays with real upcoming actors dealing with real life scenarios.Each scene has a lesson to be learned and we also have muscial artist (singers,rappers,dancers,poets) who use music to explain there identity. Our shows arent only just a play its a party we have dance competitions for our children with cash prizes, Our face painters allow your children to express there art within theres not a thing our shows dont offer . We putour audience in the lifes of children who actually have killed thereselfs due to cyber bullying No life is to short for there story not to be told & no child is to young to be introduced to the life of change.

Why We Do It
Why would we not want to do it ? Is the better question knowing our plays and our interaction with parents can help save a life why not? Some people feel as if cyberbullying doesnt have a big effect on children and thats where there wrong cyberbullying is a topic that can be discussed for days and everyone has a different opinon but if you put yourself in a other young childs place what can be done when all the chips have fallen
