I think  the assembly was needed and effective. Needed because it could change the way people are thinking about each other. Effective because it makes people want to be a part and make a difference in other people's life. What I took away from this experiance is that everybody does things for a reason, like things are going bad at home, or they may not have friends at school and it might lead them to bully other people to let out their pain. What I will change is giving everyone a chance, and trying to get to know them better or help them make new friends.
