There is nothing worse than your child coming home from school in tears because someone at school was being rude to them and picking on them. It breaks a parent’s heart in two! And, it is UNACCEPTABLE!
I have absolutely NO tolerance for any bully PERIOD. It is important to Stand Up To Bullying And Stay Strong! Don’t let them get away with it or they will keep doing it!
When my son was in first grade there was a bully that picked on everyone at the school, so it was not just my son. But, my son always had something to tell me about this bully, when he got home from school. I hated it! So, I wrote a note to the principal, called his teacher and talked with her. She moved the ‘bully’ away from my son (across the classroom) and soon, the bully moved. I swear the whole grade was happy that the bully moved and was now gone!
What You Can Do To STOMP Out Bullying!
Report Bullying
Don’t be afraid to tell an adult. Telling isn’t tattling! You are helping someone. I try to tell my kids this all the time!
Who should you tell? You could tell your parents, teacher, school counselor, school nurse, coach or any adult you trust.
Be sure to tell exactly what happened … who was bullied, who the bully was, where and when it happened. Even if you suspect a kid is being bullied, it’s a good idea to report that, too. Most adults really do care about bullying and will be glad that you told them about it.
If you tell an adult and you don’t think they are doing anything about the bullying or if the situation isn’t improving, tell another adult. Keep telling adults until someone does something to help.

I like this campaign. Yes, I still remember an incident that happened to me when riding the bus in elementary school.

I also have absolutely NO tolerance for any bullying. I feel so bad for children who are bullied and my children have been bullied. I am so glad for this campaign.

I wasn’t exactly bullied in school, people were jerks here & there though. I was bullied by neighborhood kids. My older brother also bullied me 🙁 I still have emotional issues to this day from the way he treated me. One of the neighborhood girls that bullied me became my sister in law(we get along fine now); she married my bully brother. Go figure :/

Of course, i am sure most people have, which is sad, but true, if we teach our kids kindness and compassion, they will have a much better world to grow up in! ♡

It’s the bully’s parents who should be held accountable for their child’s bad behavior in and out of school. There should be stern consequences for both the bully and their parents. School is a place of learning, and no child should be scared to go to school. I don’t for the life of me, understand why this problem can’t be solved.

What a great campaign. Bullying is such a big issue these days.
Mia says
I feel that I was bullied as a kid because I was very small for my age. I am glad that there is so much more awareness these days.

this is a very great campaign.
Barrie says
This is a great campaign! Wish more schools would put their money where their mouth is!
Tamra Phelps says
I love this campaign. Teaching kids to stand up to bullies (and to stand up FOR kids being bullied) is so important! One bully can make an entire classroom miserable.

So, another way to look at this is… Learn to fight back. I don’t know what’s happening in society, everyone is afraid, “oh, I’ll get sued” or “cops are going to take me in.” We have natural instincts to fight or run; it happens in the wild and we’re no exception…survival of the fittest if you will. So, I think this is a very complicated situation where you have natural instincts vs societal opinion.
I have been bullied as a kid, grew yup in neighborhoods where I didn’t look like everyone else, so therefore I had the choice to fight or take flight. I chose calculated risk!
