Celebrities are standing up to spread the message of hope for those who had been victimized by peer bullying. Anne Hathaway, and Neil Patrick Harris are among Hollywood's high-profile celebrities who recently spoke on peer bullying.

Hollywood's action came after a rise in reported suicide among young people strongly linked to peer bullying. The latest victim being Rutgers student Tyler Clementi whose death highlighted the extent of bullying at school. 

Clementi killed himself by jumping off the George Washington Bridge over Hudson after two Rutgers students recorded and broadcasted Clementi's sexual activities. 

Last week, Project Runway Tim Gunn confessed that he himself had attempted suicide in his teens in a public service announcement (PSA) "It Gets Better Project." For the full story, read it here.
