Why is it that some people feel it's okay to put others down to make them feel better? Do they not realize there are other ways to feel good about themselves?Be An Upstander, not a Bystander!
That's the message shared throughout our school this Pink Shirt Day. All around Canada people are wearing pink shirts to show support for anti-bullying efforts today.
If you see bullying happening, don't just watch or walk away, stand up to the bully! Stop it from happening!
So Canada - did YOU wear pink today?

I like what you said about "don't just walk away"
ReplyDeleteSuch an important post. Thanks for sharing, Callista! We're all wearing pink today.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think everyone should stand up. Bullying takes place in all kinds of format. Kids and seniors seem to get it the worst. They are our most vulnerable. I'm wearing pink and I think it is up to us to challenge the bullyer and not walk away.
ReplyDeleteThanks for raising awareness about this. My son was bullied at school and we are wearing pink today
ReplyDeleteI sure did wear Pink today. I think today is so important and just everyday awareness is essential. Thank-you for linking me and thank-you for sharing your post. Bullying makes lasting memories that people shouldn't have to remember.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I missed it this year but will wear pink next year.
