A personal story about bullying and how a 18-year-old Swift Current man is opening up for the first time about his personal struggles will be featured in a CTV News special report Thursday night.

Max Garies made a YouTube video on New Year's Eve. His resolution for this year -- start talking about bullying.

Using only cue cards, Garies shares his personal story about how the names kids called him in middle school have stuck with him, until now.

His courageous video has now been viewed across the world and continues to reach more people every day.

The special report on Garies' story and how some schools are dealing with bullying will be featured tonight on CTV News at Six.
