PERTH AMBOY – In order for the students of Perth Amboy High School to research and take care of one community issue, create awareness about it and finally try to change it in some way, the project “Be the Change” was initiated.

Abuse: Both Physically and Psychologically, Bullying, etc. The students’ research had shown that most people do not think that psychological abuse actually exists and do not see it as important as physical abuse. They stumbled upon weapons of choice project through their research and found that it fit perfectly with their mission and vision. Robert Fiance Makeup Academy, Perth Amboy, NJ collaborated with Perth Amboy High School on Friday, May 1, 2015 and provided special FX application of students walking around with hurtful words amongst bruising on their bodies and faces. Gianella Burga of Perth Amboy High School was the student assigned this project.
