Unity Awards
Do you know an individual or group who took action to make our communities, schools and the web kinder, more accepting and inclusive? If yes, nominate them for a Unity Award! Our student panel will judge all nominations. Then, on May 30th, we will recognize those who have made outstanding contributions to help create a world without bullying.
Choose Kind
WONDER, R.J. Palacio’s New York Times bestseller, is the incredibly inspiring story of Auggie Pullman, a boy with facial differences who enters fifth grade at a mainstream school for the first time. This heartwarming story was made into a movie and is in theaters now! The inspiring take-away message from reading the book or seeing the movie is to always CHOOSE KIND. You can show that kindness matters by purchasing the film’s official CHOOSE KIND T-shirt. Every shirt sold benefits PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center.

Tell Us Why You Care

At school we were going to the bathroom. When I was finished I started washing my hands. I was in the line waiting for the dryer and all of a sudden a girl splashed water on me. The thing that made me want to cry the most was because she did it purposely. Luckily I didn't cry and just waited for the dryer to dry my shirt and pants. To be honest I never told the teacher or my parents. I let it slide, but today I think I'm going to tell my parents that I've been getting bullied by a guy in gym class. He always tries to hit me. I don't know why! Today I came home and went straight to my room. I was crying almost for an hour. So today is the day that I stand up for myself.

We all should treat others how we want to be treated. To bully someone is a coward's way to gain attention because of their own
insecurities. Many think being mean and bullying others is funny - when really it's one of the saddest things one person can be to another.
Speaking up and showing support for those being bullied is what we all need to do!

I care because I know how it feels to be bullied. Even if you don't have friends someone someday is going to make you happy and hopeful, I probably don't know you in real life but I love you and I hope you find that one person (that will be your friend and actually care about you). Live life at the fullest and STAY ALIVE!! Bye! *waves goodbye*

I think that bullying is disgusting & unacceptable as other societal or global issues. As someone who has had a fair share of bullying growing up, I know exactly how it feels & how detrimental it is to someone's self esteem. Its so important to realise that bullying isn't a joke & is actually a huge issue. We must not only raise awareness but also change the perceptions of youth & adults alike. We can't afford to lose any more lives because of bullying. BULLYING IS OBVIOUSLY NOT OKAY.

Don't bully! It is not right for other people to suffer because of something that might be going on in your life, that is personal.
