The Bully Effect

Bill Ballenger, founder of Break the Grey in 2005, has dedicated his life to be a catalyst for
change in the lives of youth who live a “grey” existence in a culture of uncertainty, a culture that
fosters a “whatever” lifestyle that can destroy. Troubled and bullied as a child, Ballenger grew
into a violent teenager, and became a young married father addicted to drugs and alcohol. Local
burglaries prompted a SWAT team to raid his home where he and his wife were arrested.
Ultimately their nine-month-old daughter was taken from them and they were each sentenced to
six years in prison with the Indiana Department of Corrections. It was there that Bill’s life
changed. Two years into his sentence, Ballenger and his wife were inexplicably released from
prison and their daughter returned to them. With a passion for helping others, Ballenger shares
his story challenging students to avoid the choices he made and take their lives and futures
seriously. Break the Grey is the fulfillment of Ballenger’s vow to give something positive back
to society.
