Why Participation Matters
Bullying is still a major challenge in schools:
- 1 in 5 students report being bullied each year.
- More than 60% of students who are bullied never tell an adult.
- Students who are bullied are more likely to struggle with anxiety, depression, and lower academic achievement.
- Cyberbullying has grown significantly since the pandemic, making it harder for students to escape.
And we know the connection: when hate feels acceptable, bullying rises. That’s why it’s more urgent than ever to take collective action. On October 6, let’s unite to send one clear message: we stand up against bullying, cyberbullying, and hate.
Easy Ways to Get Involved
Whether you’re a teacher, school administrator, parent, or student, taking part is easy.

The simplest action:
