The Do the Write Thing Texas Challenge began in Houston, Harris County as part of the nation-wide Do the Write Thing Challenge and has expanded across Texas. The program, through classroom discussion and the writing of essays, teaches children how to deal with anger, slights, bullying and other conflicts in a constructive way, without resorting to violence. Also addressed are the subjects of resisting peer pressure, avoiding illicit drug usage and seeking help for family abuse.
