Hi, I am Lauren Potter.

2
00:00:03,604 --> 00:00:10,147
You might know me as Becky Jackson on the TV series "Glee".

3
00:00:10,147 --> 00:00:12,479
This is my mom, Robin.

4
00:00:12,479 --> 00:00:16,759
– And we're joining AbilityPath.org to disable bullying.

5
00:00:16,759 --> 00:00:19,920
When you first meet Lauren, you may just see her disability...

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,223
but it is not what defines her.

7
00:00:22,223 --> 00:00:25,559
Growing up, Lauren was unfortunately reminded of her differences

8
00:00:25,559 --> 00:00:28,662
because of mean-spirited jokes, pranks and name calling.

9
00:00:28,662 --> 00:00:33,971
The fact is, kids with special needs are more likely to be bullied than any other students.

10
00:00:33,971 --> 00:00:38,438
– That's just not OK, but it happens every day.

11
00:00:38,438 --> 00:00:43,100
My mom and I are taking action to disable bullying.

12
00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:44,688
Will you?

13
00:00:44,688 --> 00:00:48,149
– Lauren and I are proud to be partnering with AbilityPath.org,

14
00:00:48,149 --> 00:00:52,895
so our kids go from being statistics to being a part of the solution.

15
00:00:52,895 --> 00:00:57,391
There is something we can all do to say "enough is enough".

16
00:00:57,391 --> 00:01:01,362
– Let's give kids with special needs a voice.

17
00:01:01,362 --> 00:01:08,801
