October is National Bullying Prevention Month. Verbal harassment is the most common type of bullying, followed by social, physical, and cyberbullying. Breaking the cycle of bullying requires everyone to be an active participant. Be a Buddy, not a Bully! You can help by shutting it down, speaking out, and spreading awareness. #nationalbullyingpreventionmonth #stopbullying
