Bullying happens in many different forms. It means doing something, saying something or acting in a way that makes someone else feel bad on purpose. Bullying is a problem in schools, homes, workplaces and online. Anyone can be a bully – even you.

Each year on Pink Shirt Day, Red Deer joins the international movement to stand against bullying. Wearing pink reminds those around you to practice kindness and sends a strong message that you do not tolerate bullying.

If you or someone you know is experiencing bullying, help is available. The following supports can be accessed 24/7 by anyone who needs them:

• Bullying Helpline in Alberta: Call or text 310-1818
• Mental Health Helpline: 1-877-303-2642
