For this year's National Bullying Prevention Month, take a stand against bullying and join Spirit Day, the largest and most visible LGBTQ anti-bullying campaign.

According to GLSEN’s 2017 National School Climate Survey <[link removed]>, LGBTQ students experience bullying at a significantly higher rate than their non-LGBTQ peers. The effects of bullying on LGBTQ youth are serious, complex and long-lasting. LGBTQ students report feeling unsafe when on school grounds, often resulting in missing a significant number of classes or dropping out because of the continuous harassment they face at school.
