National Bullying Awareness Week - November 13-19, 2011

The Alberta government’s Prevention of Bullying Youth Committee is launching a grassroots movement during National Bullying Awareness Week (November 13-19) to change attitudes about bullying and promote a safe, caring and respectful society.

But, we need your help! Let us know your bullying prevention ideas. Send your videos, pictures, links and/or stories from your awareness week activities to us at b-free@gov.ab.ca. We’ll promote them on b-free.ca!

Here are a few suggestions:

- invite someone who’s usually ‘left out’ to sit with you at lunch;
- talk to others in your school or community (e.g. teachers, town councilors) about hosting a bullying prevention  event;
- start/join an anti-bullying Facebook group with your friends;
- send a tweet or make a YouTube video about bullying prevention; and
- any other awesome ideas you think of!

Together, let’s take a stand. We look forward to hearing from you!
