These negative acts may be physical or verbal in nature or they may involve indirect actions such as manipulating friendships or purposely excluding other children from activities.

Supportive learning environment and caring and safe situation for youth
Increased risk for depression, poor self-esteem, and other mental health problems
Inclusive society raising citizens who show genuine interest to others
Jaylen Arnold has changed the world by advocating for bullying prevention.
As a child, he had the Asperger’s syndrome and was bullied.
Instead of fighting back, he decided to start a nonprofit at the age of 8 to help educate kids that bully other kids, especially those who are disabled.
Anti-Bullying Pledge Scheme was set up to help schools implement the government’s national anti-bullying charter in England and schools’ governing body.
The principal and a student representative would sign up to the charter and pledge a commitment to anti-bullying work and provide a plan for anti-bullying work in their schools.
Make posters/signs that support anti-bullying/never bully messages
Design a kindness wall for others to add notes
Establish an “anti-bullying” day once in a month, where all teens share their stories and exchange anti-bullying messages.
