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.

I care because I once was a victim. No specified reason, I was just bullied for fun I suppose. In this same way I was a victim of both, whether they realize it or not.
Charlie — 11

I care because you never know what has happened to someone or why they are the way they are

It's not cool and it's not nice to do.

Stories
Bullied
January 30, 2023
So I was in 4th grade and there was these 2 girls and they were best friends. And I guess i was their ” friend ” too. They would urge and put me in the middle of it, then one of them would call me names and hurt my feelings. But even now that I’m in 6th grade they still do the same old stuff. And it’s like all they do is manipulate and goof around.
