National Bullying Prevention Month (NBPM) held during October | Unity Day is the third Wednesday of October
A month long event to prevent childhood bullying and promote kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. On Unity Day, plan to wear and share the color orange — as a tangible representation of the supportive, universal message that our society wants to prevent bullying, and is united for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion.

Student Action Plan Against Bullying
Ready to take action to address bullying? Maybe not sure how to start? As a student, bullying is something that impacts you, your peers, and your school – whether you’re the target of bullying, a witness, or the person who bullies. Bullying can end, but that won’t happen unless students, parents, and educators work together and take action.

people don’t deserve to be treated like they do because it really could damage people and lead them to suicidal thoughts and for them to hurt their selves.

I have experienced bullying my whole life. Most of it was when I was younger. I never had more than one or two friends, no one ever came to my birthday, I was picked on and shunned by my whole class. I care about bullying and I can relate to those who have been and still being bullied.

I feel that all should be treated equally because I know how it feels and I have been through it. Self-Harm is not the answer. We should be strong and talk to our parents and teachers about this problem.They will always help you in the end.

Growing up I was very small and I still am but I used to be really tiny and people would take advantage of that and it hurt. I was mentally, physically, and emotionally abused by those people who was the same age as me, isn’t that crazy I was quiet because whenever i spoke up i was annoying i, i eventually learned to show them that they don’t matter to me and it worked for a little bit they started to feel embarrassed at the fact that i made them look dumb for trying to talk me down. keep in mind that this is when i first arrived to my elementary school. and I was in the first grade i soon became friends with my now best friend and created a nice friend group and I was finally getting along now everything was perfect and going up to after COVID we are now in the sixth grade and i´ve decided to go into the building and learn there and the bullying started again with the same people and it started with little stuff like being made fun of for participating in activities like career day but I held my ground because my bestie and friends reminded me of my worth and things have been great from there. I am now in ninth grade with my bestie for now 9 years and I am still small and yes I still have problems with my height but that does not stop me from soaring. So just remember your worth is greater than anything and people is only mean because they are insecure too.
