	<title>Kirk Smalley | Stand for the Silent | University of Toledo</title>
	<link>http://www.wgte.org/wgte/item.asp?item_id=13025</link>
	<description><![CDATA[Kirk Smalley from Stand for the Silent visited the University of Toledo, and spoke to a large audience in the Field House.
Kirk and Laura Smalley's eleven year old son, Ty Field-Smalley, took his own life after being suspended from school for retaliating against a bully that had been bullying him for over two years.
Stand for the Silent exists as a platform to allow Kirk and Laura to share their story and offer education and tools that will prevent their tragedy from happening to another child and family. Kirk and Laura's mission is to continue to change kids' lives and bring awareness to bullying and the real devastation it causes. Since May 2010, Kirk and Laura Smalley have traveled to hundreds of schools and spoken with more than 580,000 kids.&nbsp; In March 2011, Kirk and Laura met privately with President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama in The White House prior to attending the first ever White House conference on bullying. Their story is featured in Director Lee Hirsch's feature film, Bully. Kirk and Laura have been invited to a number of conferences on bullying and met with Lady Gaga this spring at the launch of the Born This Way Foundation.
Support for Knowledge Stream is provided, in part, by a generous gift from The Appold Family Charitable Trust.]]></description>
