Read Our Manifesto
Both the STOMP Out Bullying Program® and its Annual BLUE SHIRT DAY® WORLD DAY OF BULLYING PREVENTION® initiative brings awareness and educates kids and teens, parents and schools about the issue. It offers hope for every student who experiences the harmful effects of bullying and teaches parents to keep open communication with their kids and teens and to look for signs. It also educates school administrators across the country, who have swept this issue under the rug for far too long.
Funds raised for the organization go towards assisting students in need of help and at-risk of suicide. Funds also support the HelpChat Crisis Line, in-school education, changing the culture and other prevention programs; as well as a revised prevention toolkit for Educators, public awareness and education, a dedicated website, brochures and providing Wellness Rooms to schools for students with mental health issues and additional education and bullying prevention resources and materials.
Today's students are at risk, and that risk grows more and more everyday as the popularity of the Internet increases. Today our youths are exposed to so much more than we were years ago. And years ago, when a kid or teen threatened to kill someone they didn't mean it. Today students have access to guns and the threat to kill someone is no longer idle.
The issues of bullying and cyberbullying have increased to alarming proportions. As a form of violence against children of all ages, these issues have caused a crisis. Some victims are so tormented that suicide has become an alternative for them. It has everyone worried. Not just the kids and teens on its receiving end, but the parents, teachers and others who may not understand how extreme bullying can get. STOMP Out Bullying® works aggressively to prevent these issues and to help those affected by it.
Adults must empower the victims and help change the behavior of the bullies. Schools must react swiftly and redirect negative behaviors into positive and productive solutions.
Bystanders who witness the assaults, harassment and threats must not remain silent. They must stand up for victims.
Parents must teach their kids and teens kindness, compassion and respect and schools must do the same. Our kids and teens need to know they are valued and protected.
Love Our Children USA created STOMP Out Bullying® to put an end to this crisis, to keep children of all ages safe and to create bullying prevention education and peer mentoring in schools.
STOMP Out Bullying® says NO to victimization, NO to anti-bullying legislation that does not work and NO to the hate and intolerance of others.
