John, We know you'll agree that even one more child facing weight-based bullying is one too many. That's why we need you to make your donation today to support our efforts to end childhood obesity bullying. With 30% of girls and 24% of boys with excess weight reporting peer victimization and bullying, we're already behind. The Obesity Action Coalition (OAC) has dedicated Childhood Obesity Awareness Month to raising the funds that will enable us to end this harmful treatment, but our efforts are ongoing. The donations you provide during this campaign will not only support our current programs and initiatives but will aid us as we continue in our commitment to end the bullying too many children face. | |
Throughout this campaign, members of our Community have shared with us their experiences with bullying, and how this treatment continues to impact their thoughts decades later. As we've seen through the comments we've received, these negative views, actions and words can begin as early as preschool and continue to affect a child's well-being as they get older and continue to struggle with self-image. | |
