KISS ALL THE BULLIES GOODBYE
Bullying – Why Should You Care?
Bullying is not just “kids being kids.” It is extremely serious and dangerous and leads to thousands of deaths every year among young people. It also leads to problems with emotional and physical health and damages our educational system.
That’s why Sir Ivan created the song “Kiss All The Bullies Goodbye” – to raise awareness of the problem and to help fight bullying.
If you’re reading this, chances are you or someone you know may have been affected by bullying at some point. Read on for ways to help make a difference at your school and in your community.
Statistics on Bullying
Impact on Suicide:
Bullying is a universal problem that can often be linked to youth suicide.
Tragically, there are more than 440,000 teens who talk about or attempt suicide in the U.S. every year.
LGBT teenagers are 4-5 times more likely to attempt suicide as their straight peers.
Impact on Education:
Every month, 282,000 students are attacked in school.
160,000 U.S. students stay home from school every day due to bullying.
One out of every ten students who drops out of school does so because of bullying.
What Is Sir Ivan Doing to Help?
Sir Ivan is a strong believer that bullying must be stopped, and that we must celebrate differences rather than punish them.
