Bullying is a pattern of activity intended to cause harm or distress to others. Bullies tend to target students who are the most vulnerable.
Take a Stand. Lend a Hand. Stop Bullying Now!
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has launched a multi-year National Bullying Prevention Campaign-"Take a Stand. Lend a Hand. Stop Bullying Now!"-to address this critical problem. The campaign's goal is to actively engage 9-through 13-year-old youths-and those who shape their world-in a comprehensive, research-based effort to change the environment in which bullying occurs.
Everyone in the community - parents, teachers, school officials, students, and others - has a stake in putting a stop to bullying and a role to play in bullying prevention efforts. Visit www.stopbullyingnow.hrsa.gov for more information.
