Does bullying happen in your school? How can you stop bullying in your school or community? National Bullying Prevention Month was created to bring people together to talk about bullying and how to stop it. Unite against bullying by wearing orange this month and by starting a discussion in your school about bullying.
There are always two sides to every story. Explore the many sides of bullying from the perspective of all involved—the bully, the bullied and the bystander.
