While T.I. was on his promotional tour for his upcoming album “Trouble Man,” the ATL rapper was kind enough to stop by and surprise the kids at Turning Point Academy in Charlotte to talk with them about the impacts of bullying and changing their life for the better.

“A bully is someone who is trying to take your attention away from what he (or she) is not good at,” says T.I.

Watch as he along with the Morning Maddhouse talk with the kids about bettering themselves to be ready and successful in the real world.  And always, remember to “Stand Up Speak Out” against bullying in our CMS schools and everyday life!  Sign the pledge here and be the change!

In the second part of the video, T.I. talks about how prison is terrible to live but most kids won’t learn their lessons until they are charged with 10 years or more in prison.  AND, most kids don’t even know the penalties for what crimes they are committing on the streets.

“One decision can make the rest of your life,” says T.I.
