    Hi, I am Lauren Potter.
  • 0:04 - 0:10
    You might know me as Becky Jackson on the TV series "Glee".

    This is my mom, Robin.
  • 0:12 - 0:17
    – And we're joining AbilityPath.org to disable bullying.
  • 0:17 - 0:20
    When you first meet Lauren, you may just see her disability...
  • 0:20 - 0:22
    but it is not what defines her.
  • 0:22 - 0:26
    Growing up, Lauren was unfortunately reminded of her differences
  • 0:26 - 0:29
    because of mean-spirited jokes, pranks and name calling.
  • 0:29 - 0:34
    The fact is, kids with special needs are more likely to be bullied than any other students.
  • 0:34 - 0:38
    – That's just not OK, but it happens every day.
  • 0:38 - 0:43
    My mom and I are taking action to disable bullying.
  • 0:43 - 0:45
    Will you?
  • 0:45 - 0:48
    – Lauren and I are proud to be partnering with AbilityPath.org,
  • 0:48 - 0:53
    so our kids go from being statistics to being a part of the solution.
  • 0:53 - 0:57
    There is something we can all do to say "enough is enough".
  • 0:57 - 1:01
    – Let's give kids with special needs a voice.
  • 1:01 - 1:09
