Sometimes the best way to cope with troubling situations is through laughter. I was invited by Canon to the Groundlings theater in LA to see how bullied kids channel their tough experiences into stand-up comedy. It's all a part of Canon's Rebel With a Cause campaign that profiles contemporary-day rebels who challenge convention in their own unique way. Canon partnered with YouTube creator and antibullying advocate Anna Akana for the program. The star shared her personal story approximately her sister's suicide as a result of bullying. She now uses comedy as therapy,so her ability to get light of difficult topics made her a perfect choice as a Rebel With a Cause.
Anna worked with the Groundlings comedy troupe to teach bullied teens how to expend comedy based on their own life experiences. Once the teens created stand-up routines, friends and family came to watch them perform. The show gave these kids the confidence and positive reinforcement they deserve. Watch the inspiring video above to watch their journeys.
