Bullying Prevention is up to everyone!




October is National Bullying Prevention Month

Bullying is not only a National issue, but a world-wide issue! The best defense against bullying is Communication and Awareness. Every school should have a bullying prevention program in place (if your school does not, please contact us and we'll be happy to try and get one set up there!)

Talking to your children, your schools and your community is vital.  Research shows that when people speak out and stand up, bullying is drastically reduced. Silence = Acceptance. When you see bullying and do nothing it's the same as if you were the one doing the bullying.

Words DO Hurt


The majority of bullying does not involved hitting or other physical contact. BUT almost 40% of bullying does involve some physical contact. Start at an early age educating you children regarding hitting and the consequences of bullying. Parents are the first defense in this epidemic.



#UnityDay2015 is October 21. Be sure to wear orange! Check your school and community to see if anything is planned.
