Pink Shirt Day is a day when people wear pink to symbolize a stand against bullying. The original event was organized by Nova Scotian teens David Shepherd and Travis Price in 2007 when they bought and distributed 50 pink shirts after a male ninth grader was bullied for wearing pink.
Over 75% of people say they’ve been bullied. Over 90% of bullying incidents have peer witnesses. But when those peers intervene, most incidents are over within 10 seconds. Bullying could be happening to someone you know and care about – join us in taking a stand against bullying, and letting your peers know that it is not okay. Show kindness, empathy, and compassion, and speak out!
