Anti-bullying Day



Yesterday was anti-bullying day and a lot of school kids around the country wore pink in support of the concept.

A recent article in the Calgary Herald points out some interesting facts about the Canadian perspective on bullying.  Read it here.




Interesting points from the article:
  • 65% believe that bullying should be a criminal activity
  • 20% believe bullying should be a crime only if physical violence is present
  • 90% beleive there should be a cyber-bullying law
  • a child is bullied in Canada every seven seconds
