Bully Prevention was a deeply personal and significant issue for Landen Brown. Although it may be surprising to those who knew him in high school and college, Landen endured severe bullying for three years prior to high school. Despite the vicious taunts, harassment, and physical confrontations, Landen remained resilient. For someone aged 11 to 13, his fortitude was remarkable. Landen leaned on his faith; he questioned why the bullying persisted, felt anger, and struggled to find its purpose. Yet, he consistently believed that there was a silver lining in every situation, as detailed in "Landen's Story," which he authored during his sophomore year of high school.
