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.
