Plain and simple, people have a short retention span. Print the book and it will last longer. In addition to that build a resource for these kids. I was one. I remember all the shitty years.
How about building some sort of organization for Them/Us. How about a sponsor a geek program. call it Big Geeks or something modeled after Big Brothers. All this talking has not made any real difference to those kids.
Instead for quaking in fear at the school bullies give them the confidence to say "sure you can punch me in the face, but 5 years from now when you are flipping burgers for a living I will be earning your annual salary monthly".
I am not in North America now otherwise I would try to start this my self. We could create a fifth column of geeks. There is strength in numbers.
