Highlighting the importance of addressing mental wellness amongst the younger generation, they hoped that through the vivid expression of drama, students could be guided to understand the harm caused by bullying and establish positive mental health concepts. They also hoped to help students recognize the potential risks of bullying at school, and to learn safe and feasible self-protection and help-seeking methods.
