SUMMARY:Pink Shirt Day
DESCRIPTION:Pink Shirt Day differs from International Day of Pink as it is not specific to LGBTQ+ bullying\, but all bullying in general. \nThe original event was organized in 2007 by twelfth-grade students David Shepherd and Travis Price of Berwick\, Nova Scotia\, who bought and distributed 50 pink shirts after a ninth-grade student Chuck McNeill was bullied for wearing a pink polo shirt during the first day of school at Central Kings Rural High School in Cambridge\, Nova Scotia. That year\, Nova Scotia Premier Rodney MacDonald proclaimed the second Thursday of September (aligning with the start of each school year) as “Stand Up Against Bullying Day” in recognition of these events. \nIn 2008\, then-Premier of British Columbia\, Gordon Campbell proclaimed February 27 to be the provincial Anti-Bullying Day. In 2009\, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Canada worked on pink t-shirts that say “Bullying Stops Here.” and “Pink Shirt Day” for Anti-Bullying Day. \nIn May 2009\, New Zealand celebrated its first Pink Shirt Day. \nIn 2012\, the United Nations declared May 4 as U.N. Anti-Bullying Day. Similarly\, UNESCO declared the first Thursday of November as the International Day against Violence and Bullying at School Including Cyberbullying. \nAnti-Bullying Day was instituted to prevent further bullying. The United States Department of Justice showed that one out of four kids will be bullied during their adolescence. Most of the time it continues after the first incident; statistics show that 71 percent of students that are bullied\, continue to be bullied\, making it a problem with no end. According to the Yale School of Medicine\, a study in 2010 discovered a connection between being bullied and suicide. The term to describe this is “bullycide“\, wherein someone who is bullied commits suicide as a result.
