National Bullying Prevention Month (NBPM) is a month-long event that promotes the prevention of bullying. NBPM was started by the PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center in 2006 and has been growing ever since. More than one out of every five students will be bullied this year. Chances are, this could be happening to someone you know and care about! You can use PACER’s resources to raise awareness about bullying prevention, share information about this issue on social media, create a fundraiser, or celebrate Unity Day by wearing and sharing orange.
