Pacer Centers Kids Against Bullying site is one the best interactive bullying awareness sites we have come across in a while!
With games, a gallery, personal stories and more, Pacer helps kids not only understand what it feels like to be bullied, but lets those who are bullied, know they are not alone.
With mantras like "Speak Up, Reach Out and Be a Friend" and "Spot It, Stop It" kids have the ability to take the anti bullying pledge, kids can make a difference while learning!
A few statistics about child bullying:
- A child is bullied every seven minutes;
- 1 out of 3 kids is bullied;
- Over 180,000 students miss school daily for fear of being bullied;
- 85% of all bullying cases have NO intervention;
- Since 1981, the suicide rate for kids under 15 has increased by 70%.
The issue of child bullying has received a lot of attention in the media lately, but one thing that often seems to be missing is exactly what actions parents and students need to take now to stop the bullying. Pacer Center offers kids an interactive way!
Some think bullying is a part of growing up and children need to learn how to stick up for themselves. But bullying can leave children feeling lonely, unhappy, and unsafe and think that there must be something wrong with them. NO child deserves to feel this way!
