Wear Pink On February 22! Anti-Bullying Day Canada

WEAR PINK ON FEBRUARY 22! ANTI-BULLYING DAY

Take a stand to say no to bullying, and show your support for people who are bullied – in our schools, workplaces, homes, and on the Internet.

Why Pink Shirts?

In 2007, when a Grade 9 student in Nova Scotia was bullied for wearing a pink shirt, a group of friends bought 50 pink shirts to distribute to other students, to wear in support of their friend.

Their big hearts struck a cord, and today Pink Shirt Day has become an annual event in countries around the world, and recognized by the United Nations.

What is Bullying?

Bullying is doing, saying or acting, on purpose, in a way that hurts someone physically, or emotionally. This can be:

  • Verbal (name-calling)
  • Physical (punching, pushing)
  • Social (leaving someone out of an activity or group)
  • Extortion (stealing money or possessions)
  • Cyber bullying (on computers, the Internet, mobile phones)
  • “In Canada, a student is bullied on the playground every seven minutes”

How to help

  • Talk about bullying to your friends and family – especially your children.
  • If you see someone being bullied, stand beside him or her to show your support, lead them away, and tell a teacher or boss.
  • Buy and wear a pink t-shirt from the BC-based not-for-profit Pink T-Shirt Day Society.
  • For more tips on what to do if you are bullied, and for more information, visit http://www.pinktshirtday.ca.
