According to the CDC, bullying affects 20% of high school students and cyberbullying affects 16% of high school students. This week we are raising awareness of the impact that bullying has on mental health. Students who are bullied are more likely to develop problems like depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and self-destructive behavior. How can you help? Be an UPSTANDER, NOT a bystander! Students can help by reporting instances of bullying and cyberbullying. If you see something, say something to a trusted adult!
