The Most Engaging Middle School Bullying Prevention Assemblies
A Captivating, Interactive Bullying Prevention Speaker for Middle Schools
Middle school is one of the most critical times in a student’s life. As children transition into adolescence, they face new challenges — shifting friendships, growing independence, and increasing exposure to digital communication. Unfortunately, this also means middle school is one of the most common times when conflict, bullying, and cyberbullying occur. One thing that can help with this is engaging middle school bullying prevention assemblies
For more than 20 years, Robert Hackenson Jr. has been a leading bullying prevention speaker for middle schools, delivering assemblies across 49 states and internationally. His mission is simple: to give students practical tools to recognize, prevent, and respond to bullying in ways that build a respectful and supportive school culture.

Using magic, illusions, storytelling, humor, and interactive skits, he creates a presentation that not only educates but also captivates. Students leave inspired, laughing, and equipped with strategies they can use immediately.
