Sponsored by PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center

More than 1 out of every 5 students report being bullied

National Bullying Prevention Month is a nationwide campaign founded in 2006 by PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center. The campaign is held during the month of October and unites communities around the world to educate and raise awareness of bullying prevention. This campaign has grown from an initial week-long event to a worldwide effort with thousands of individuals participating in multiple activities throughout October.
Hundreds of schools, major corporations, and many celebrities have joined the movement. Take action and show that you care about kids being safe at school, while online, and in the community.

Unity Day 2017, Oct. 25! Wear and Share Orange!


Together against bullying — united for kindness, acceptance and inclusion.
Make it ORANGE and make it end! What are your true colors when it comes to showing that you care about preventing bullying? Come together in one giant message of hope and support, wear and share orange to color our nation, and even the world, visibly showing that our society believes that no child should be bullied. Learn ways to get involved.

Wear Orange: Make a statement!

“ORANGE provides a powerful, visually compelling expression of solidarity,” said Paula Goldberg, Executive Director of PACER Center. “When hundreds of individuals in a school or organization wear orange, the vibrant statement becomes a conversation starter, sending the unified message to kids to know that they are not alone.”

October is Bullying Awareness Month

Okay, I did state in a few blog posts before, that there are many things going on this month and I would probably forget something ---- well I did!  October is Bullying Awareness Month.  Okay, you're right a "biggie" to have forgotten --- I agree, so I am here to offer a peace offering - yes a little late but an offering anyway.

I am not going to try and define bullying, I will leave it up to you to check out the sites that I have listed below, suffice it to say that it is a growing issue and one everyone needs to be aware of bullying in all its forms, the bully and the victim.

I encourage you to take the time to at least look at one of the sites below, and while I have offered only a few, a Google search will lead you to many more.
