Hundreds march against bullies
A Facebook campaign launched by a 13-year-old bullying victim has resulted in a march of support attended by hundreds Saturday in Sorel-Tracy.

Maxime Collard, a student at Polyvalente Bernard-Gariepy, reportedly thought about committing suicide because of the bullying he had to endure. But instead, with the support of his mother and school officials, he organized an anti-bullying campaign at his school and created a Facebook page demanding that he and other victims be left alone. Within 24 hours the page had attracted more than 400 friends and hundreds of supportive comments.

On Saturday, hundreds took to the streets in support of Collard’s campaign, including Quebec Education minister Line Beauchamp.
