"Make it Orange and Make it End!” The importance of bullying prevention included us wearing orange on this day. Julie Hertzog, director of PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center says “The culture of bullying won’t end until people across the country take action and show kids that they care." We care so we wear orange for this cause.
The End of Bullying Begins with Me. We wore BLUE on this day to to raise awareness in their schools and communities to STOMP Out Bullying™. Next year, for a $5 donation to STOMP Out Bullying, we can show support by wearing a STOMP OUT BULLYING wristband to STOMP Out Bullying.
Bullying is a major epidemic in our society. All forms of bullying, such as verbal, non verbal or emotional, physical, and cyber-bullying happen every day in the United States and it causes serious lasting harm to victims leading to severe depression, violence and/ or suicide. According to statistics, 19,000 bullied children attempt to commit suicide over the course of one year; on a monthly average 282,000 students are physically attacked by a bully each month; and on a daily average 160,000 children miss school because they fear being bullied. In a recent survey it showed that over 100,000 children carried guns to school as a result of being bullied. (http://stompthebullying.org/) We can each do a little to stop such a big epidemic.
