National Bullying Prevention Month, observed every October, encourages schools and organizations across the country to join STOMP Out Bullying™. More than one in five students reports being bullied at school each year. From name calling, being made fun of, threatened or physically harmed, adolescents who are picked on by bullies find that it can be fearful or emotionally damaging to go to school.

National Bullying Prevention Month encourages communities to work together to stop bullying and cyberbullying by increasing awareness of the prevalence and impact of bullying on children of all ages.
