Bird-Feeding Month, Clean Up Your Computer Month, Library Lovers' Month, Mend a Broken Heart Month, Sweet Potato Month, Sing with Your Child Month, Tie Month, Sarcastic Awareness Month, and Dyslexia Awareness Month. These are just some on the National awareness months there are myriad of others. Aren't they silly? There is in fact a bully awareness month, do you know when it is? October! Does your school do anything for bully awareness month? Mine does not, how can you increase awareness about bullying without having a whole month dedicated to it! I have never heard of a bully awareness month before I did this research. What I do not understand is why schools do anything for this month? If bullying is such a problem than why don’t we teach it or shine a light on it? One answer to this is the schools say they have antipathy toward bullying but they really do not or the cases of bullying would be as rare as their zero tolerance to weapons in school. Many families who go through the bad cases of bullying do not know what to do, so they go to the school and report it. I remember in middle school that every year for drug awareness month we would do different activities every week and we learn new and different things. Why can't we do the same for bullying, would it not make sense if the schools did this too.
