October is National Bullying Prevention Month

Unity DayPlease join me and thousands of educators, parents, students and community members in observing National Anti-Bullying Awareness month this October. Some communities are holding awareness events and many schools are hosting guest speakers and celebrating Unity Day on Wednesday October 10th. How You Can Help with National Bullying Prevention Month:
  • Wear Orange on 10/9/13 for Unity Day: Join thousands of people around the country to send one large, ORANGE message of support to students who have experienced bullying.
  • Wear Purple on 10/17/13 for SpiritDay: Stand against bullying and show your support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth
  • Run, Walk or Roll Against Bullying: Organize your own event to raise awareness or find one nearby here
  • Share Your Story or Read About Others' Experiences: Share your poem, story, or video about your bullying or anti-bullying experiences. Or be inspired by the experiences of others. From one story, " I just wanted to pass this story on in hopes of reminding kids/teenagers who are going through bullying that it will pass for you too. No amount of bullying is worth your life. Life is too precious to waste on the people who pick on you."
