Bullying Awareness Week

Regardless of the activities you choose to participate in at the local level, these are the key messages that every Bullying Awareness Week we’ll focus on:
  • Bullying is wrong and harmful 
  • Bullying is a relationship problem (Bullying cannot be addressed with "simple" solutions. Bullying requires relationship strategies that encourage respect and empathy for others)
  • Bullying is a community issue, we all need to play a part in addressing it (Get your community involved with Bullying Awareness Week plans and activities)
  • Youth involvement and leadership is very important
  • Challenging and supporting potential bystanders or "silent majority" to not accept bullying behaviors as a behavioral norm
  • Everyone has the right to be respected and the responsibility to respect others, in person and online!
We may never completely eliminate bullying from society, but it is a fight worth fighting. In recent years we have seen major positive changes in societal attitudes and actions with respect to things like smoking, drinking and driving and recycling, these are all behaviors and they are beginning to change for the better. Bullying is also a behavior, and as an issue it is today where these other issues were years ago before the public embraced the notion of change. Bullying Awareness Week is all about an invitation for you and your community to "Be the change!"

Please remember these quotes to help guide the efforts in your community:

"Be the change you want to see in the world." -Mahatma Gandhi


"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, determined citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." -Margaret Mead.


If you share this vision, thank you! Together we can begin to move the mountain!
