National Stop Bullying Day!

February 9th is National Stop Bullying Day! Bullying is a problem that effects kids in every single classroom in America, so I hope you will take a few minutes today to think about the important people in your life and what you can do to help.

Stop Bullying Now! Go the the national Stop Bullying Now! campaign online and learn what you can do to help, and as they say, take a stand and lend a hand.

Remember, many kids are afraid to ask an adult for help if they are being bullied, so I hope today you might lend a hand. How do you lend a hand? If you see someone who might be getting bullied, report what you see to a teacher, principal or another person you trust. Don't worry, talking to an adult is the right thing to do, and will make your school a better place for everyone. You don't have to say much, just tell the adult that you notice a person might be having trouble, and ask them to check in to make sure everything is okay. It is really that simple. Take a stand and lend a hand. I like it, and I know simple things like this go a long way in making the day better for kids across the country.
