Are you participating? Are your schools? Ours are, even our elementary schools. The more the merrier, let bullies know there are people who will stand up to them.
WIKI: Anti-Bullying Day (a.k.a. Pink Shirt Day) is a day celebrated during the last Wednesday of the month February in Canada, (NOW WORLDWIDE) which originally started as a protest against a bullying incident at a Nova Scotia high school (Central Kings Rural High School). On this day, participants wear pink to symbolize a stand against bullying.
The original event was organized by David Shepherd, and Travis Price of Berwick, Nova Scotia, who bought and distributed 50 pink shirts after a male student named Charles McNeill was bullied for wearing a pink shirt during the first day of school.
This applies to more than schools, as any of you who work with a bully can attest.
