National Stop Bullying Day is observed on the second Wednesday of October and aims to raise awareness about the harmful effects of bullying in schools, workplaces, and online. Initiated by sixth graders at St. Stanislaus Kostka School, the day serves as a call to action for communities to combat bullying in its various forms, including physical, verbal, and cyberbullying. Typical customs include hosting role-playing workshops, sharing personal stories, and wearing themed attire to symbolize anti-bullying support. Participants are encouraged to create awareness materials and host educational movie nights to foster discussions on bullying. This observance highlights the importance of creating safe and inclusive environments, particularly for children and teens, and empowers both victims and bystanders to stand against bullying.
