AMARILLO, TEXAS -- Bullying is something that has become more prevalent in schools across the nation, and one clown is doing his best to put a stop to it.

Marvin Nash a former rodeo clown still puts on his paint and his barrel to show kids that there are differnt kinds of bullying not -- just physical violence.

But his message isn't just to stop bullying, it's also about teaching kids how to deal with it when it happens to them.

"What we do is through a writing worksheet, we try to get the children to write down, how am I going to deal with this? Who can I go to? How does it make me feel? So you can become active in the problem that you are faced with."

Nash says it's a group effort to teach the children how to function and work with each other.
