Executive producer Aaron Martin wanted to deal with this subject since '' Degrassi : The Next Generation '' started . He said , " It was n't an issue when the original '' Degrassi '' was on , and it 's become much more of an issue in the last 10 years . And with any teen shows , there are only so many issues you can cover , and new ones are harder and harder to find . " The producers enlisted bullying expert Barbara Coloroso , who worked with the families of survivors of the Columbine High School shooting . " She gave us amazing insights into how ( bullies ) work and how this cycle of violence keeps happening over and over again " , they said . The N aired public service announcements to warn of the episode 's content
