Among them was 15-year-old Brittany Geldert, who talked about a time when her peers encouraged her to kill herself. She shared the same stories with Rolling Stone magazine in a piece that raised anger across the country.
Yesterday, however, she had a more positive outlook.
"I've not noticed a lot of change in the students," she told reporters. "But I have seen a lot in the teachers."
Kyle Rooker, Dylon Frei, and Geldert spoke at the podium about their personal stories, then all five students allowed reporters to talk to them one-on-one. Most agreed that since filing the lawsuit and speaking out, they've experienced less bullying and feel more comfortable with their teachers in the district.
