National Bullying Prevention Month is observed every October and aims to raise awareness about bullying, encouraging communities, schools, and organizations to create safer environments for children. It promotes the message that bullying is unacceptable and that every child deserves to feel safe and valued. Activities during this month include events like Unity Day, where participants wear orange to show support for bullying prevention, and various community programs that educate about the issue. The initiative, founded by PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center, highlights the negative effects of bullying, such as anxiety and decreased academic performance, while fostering kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. Celebratory actions may include colorful parades, art contests promoting positive messages, and storytime sessions focused on friendship and acceptance. Through these efforts, National Bullying Prevention Month seeks to transform societal attitudes toward bullying and encourage proactive measures against it.
