More than 200 students from Waltersville and Barnum middle schools in Bridgeport attended an anti-bullying youth rally Wednesday.
The rally was held at the Hall Neighborhood House in the city's East End. It featured classroom workshops and group activities to raise awareness about the consequences of bullying.
The students also heard from several speakers, including a current inmate who grew up in Bridgeport.
After the rally, students got to meet Bridgeport police officers and played tennis outside.
