The Challenge

Bullying is an epidemic plaguing our schools and endangering our youth. Alarming statistics paint a stark picture of bullying’s devastating impacts—from dramatically increased suicide risk to millions of missed school days annually. The numbers speak for themselves:

Skipping School

160,000+

students skip school every day because of bullying

Suicide Rates

2-9X

more likely that bullying victims consider suicide than non-victims

Suffering Silently

70-80%

of students who are bullied do not notify adults or authorities about it

I really have been in need of some encouragement, and you gave me just that.

Thank you very much for your presentation yesterday. I was having a less-than-satisfactory day and really needed some confidence. I have some incredibly ambitious goals and I know that I can succeed. “If you think you can or if you think you can’t either way you’re right.” Thank you.
