No Name-Calling Week

A week for young people to ban together and end bullying.  
 
Almost all young people have been victims of bullying. 
 
Bullying is at its worst in 4th through 8th grades. In 2010, 90 percent of students in those grades were reported as victims of bullying.    
 
It happens at home, at school, after school, and online.   
 
Statistics reveal that 54 percent of students reported that witnessing physical abuse at home can lead to violence in school.     
 
Over half, about 56 percent, of all students have witnesses a bullying crime take place while at school.     
 
About 80 percent of all high school students have encountered being bullied in some fashion online.
