Taking the bite out of a bully

Posted on by

Pink Shirt Day is recognized as a day to show empathy, support and kindness to children who are impacted by bullying. People might say that dedicating one day to anti-bullying awareness is not enough. They’re right. It’s not enough but it’s a start. There are several kids who deal with bullying on a daily basis, and it might be overwhelming to ask for help. Pink shirt day is a way for everyone to show their disapproval for bullying. It encourages kindness and positive interaction with others. For those kids who deal with bullies, it’s a day where they can see a person in a pink shirt and feel secure about talking to them about their struggles.

Bullying should never be condoned. There’s no situation that can justify bullying someone. Bullying doesn’t have to be physical. It can also be emotional and mental pain that bullied people deal with. It’s important to call people out for bullying others. Not saying anything because it would make you feel uncomfortable is not the way to address a situation involving bullying. Calling out bullying behaviour is one of the main ways to stop the bullies. They need to hear other people tell them that their behaviour and attitude is unacceptable.

Some people might say that wearing a pink shirt won’t fix the issue. They’re wrong! Wearing a pink shirt for a day is not going to stop bullying all over the world but it’s a small gesture that brings people together. It shows that people from a community share the same interest in raising awareness against bullying. This movement is necessary for kids and adults who are impacted by bullying. Bullying can leave a long-lasting impact on people. Their self-esteem, confidence and relationship with others are all impacted by bullying. Wear a pink shirt on February 22nd to show your support for the anti-bullying movement.
