Anti-Bullying

Did you know that January 23-27 is No Name-Calling Week? Our partner GenerationOn created this campaign to help kids and teens learn how they can help prevent bullying from happening at their schools. I volunteer at an after school tutoring program and I have asked the kids if they see this happening. Almost all of the kids raised their hands. By asking this question, we started a lengthy discussion on this issue. It was wonderful to hear the kids talking about how this bothers them and their friends they see getting bullied. This campaign created by GenerationOn is a wonderful example of how and why we need programs like this in place at schools. The better we are able to talk and discuss this problem, hopefully we can see and end to it.
