When Mikaela speaks at schools, she seeks not only to inform students about bullying, but also to challenge and empower them to be a part of the solution. They are given the opportunity to sign a pledge. Should they decide to sign, they agree to abstain from bullying behaviors, reach out to those who are bullied, and to educate others on bullying's forms and harmful effects. The pledges are then posted in the school's hallways as encouragement and a constant reminder of the commitment they made.
The ABLE pledge was developed and is owned by Mikaela Carson, however you can download the pledge for personal or educational use here!

The PLEDGE:

The mission of ABLE is not just to reduce bullying but to encourage young people to be a lifeline to those who are impacted by bullying of any sort including but not limited to: physical or emotional bullying, shunning, gossip and hazing.  In addition we will strive to teach others on the potential damage of bullying behaviors and types of bullying that may not be commonly known. 

We hold to the belief that every individual has the right to live without fear of intimidation, slander or isolation regardless of their race, gender, religion, social standing, physical characteristics or any personal traits or choices.  We believe that we are indeed ABLE to make a difference and pledge to do our best in this endeavor.
