Obama said bullying is frequently targeted as "kids that are perceived as different," from the color of their skin to sexual orientation. "It's not something we have to accept," Obama said.
The president also said his big ears and unusual name made him a target: "I wasn't immune. I didn't emerge unscathed."

Bullying and Suicide Prevention
Bullying is the third leading cause of death among young people, resulting in about 4400 deaths per year, according to the CDC.
For every suicide among young people, there are at least 100 suicide attempts.
Over 14 percent of high school students have considered suicide, and almost 7 percent have attempted it.
Bully victims are between 2 to 9 times more likely to consider suicide than non-victims, according to studies by Yale University.
A study in Britain found that at least half of suicides among young people are related to bullying.
10 to 14 year old girls may be at even higher risk for suicide, according to the same study.
According to statistics reported by ABC News, nearly 30 percent of students are either bullies or victims, and 160,000 kids stay home from school every day because of bullying
Bully-related suicide can be connected to any type of bullying, including physical bullying, emotional bullying,and sexting, or circulating suggestive or nude photos or messages about a person.
Some schools or regions have more serious problems with bullying-related suicide.
This may be due to a problem with bullying at the school. It could also be related to the tendency of students who are exposed to suicide to consider suicide themselves.

The foundation does not seek to limit the dream of children that some day they can be the next NBA superstar. Instead we use this dream to motivate kids to do better in all aspects in their life in the event they don't become the next NBA ALL-Star.
Arthur Agee played basketball with President Obama and Arnie Duncan in Chicago back in the day. They all had Dreams Beyond the Hoop.
We strongly believe that educational equality will lead to good careers and societal accomplishments. It is not our goal to train future NBA players, but instead to provide a foundation for a successful life beyond basketball. The competition is not basketball, the competiton is “life”.
