Students were surveyed between 2017 and 2019 by the CDC about the aspects of bullying. These were the results of that study. 🧡

Join us tomorrow by wearing purple to show support for those who are affected by Domestic Violence! 💜

Join us tomorrow by wearing orange and pledging to Stop Bullying! 🧡

Some signs that may point to a bullying problem are:

-Unexplainable injuries
-Lost or destroyed clothing, books, electronics, or jewelry
-Frequent headaches or stomach aches, feeling sick or faking illness
-Changes in eating habits, like suddenly skipping meals or binge eating. Kids may come home from school hungry because they did not eat lunch.
-Difficulty sleeping or frequent nightmares
-Declining grades, loss of interest in schoolwork, or not wanting to go to school
-Sudden loss of friends or avoidance of social situations
-Feelings of helplessness or decreased self esteem
-Self-destructive behaviors such as running away from home, harming themselves, or talking about su***de

Of all the women surveyed who had experienced physical and sexual abuse at any given point in their life, only 14 percent opted for help. Shockingly, 77 percent suffered in silence and never spoke about the violence inflicted on them. -National Family Health Survey

Did you know? 🧡

Did you know that more than four in five American Indian and Alaska Native men and women (83 percent) have experienced a form of violence in their lifetime — whether it be physical violence and/or psychological aggression from an intimate partner, sexual violence, or stalking, according to the National Institute of Justice?

Domestic Violence can happen to anyone. This means that you probably know someone that has survived or that we have lost. On a typical day, there are over 20,000 calls made to domestic violence hotlines nationwide.
