In December 2011, New Jersey elementary school student Jake Edelstein witnessed something too many kids see these days: The bullying of a good friend of his in the schoolyard.
The event upset him greatly: both for his friend, and for his own memories of being bullied in past. It inspired him to write a song for his friend called "I Know What You've Been Through."
When he became aware of the song, world-renowned music producer Carl Sturken famous for working with Rihanna, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson and Rod Stewart, to name a few agreed to record and produce it. So Jake, his family, and his bandmate and friend Christian Rivera went into Sturken's studio. This is the result.
Jake is seven years old.

Bullying - whether verbal, physical, social or on the Web - affects millions of kids:
25% of kids are bullied
56% of students personally witness some type of bullying at school
97% of middle school students have been bullied online

If you're the victim of bullying or harassment in school, report it to a teacher, counselor, coach, other school administrator or your parents or guardians.
It helps.
