The issue of bullying and the suicide of Amanda Todd was top on the agenda for We Day

Thousands of people – most of them teens – crowded into Vancouver's Rogers Arena Thursday to be told they can make a difference.

They were taking part in We Day, the annual event sponsored by the charity Free the Children.

One of the themes this year was bullying.

As Tim Weekes reports, it's a theme that brought an emotional reaction from one of the show's headliners.
