Pink Day
On Wed., Feb. 23 Joseph Gould is celebrating Pink Shirt Day. Pink Shirt Day provides an opportunity for school communities to collectively stand up against bullying. It's an opportunity for all members of the school community to send a common message.
This idea comes from two incredible Nova Scotia high school students. Here is a snippet of the Globe & Mail article which inspired this event:
“David Shepherd, Travis Price and their teenage friends organized a high-school protest to wear pink in sympathy with a Grade 9 boy who was being bullied…[They] took a stand against bullying when they protested against the harassment of a new Grade 9 student by distributing pink T-shirts to all the boys in their school.
‘I learned that two people can come up with an idea, run with it, and it can do wonders,’ says Mr. Price, 17, who organized the pink protest. ‘Finally, someone stood up for a weaker kid.’
So Mr. Shepherd and some other headed off to a discount store and bought 50 pink tank tops. They sent out message to schoolmates that night, and the next morning they hauled the shirts to school in a plastic bag.
As they stood in the foyer handing out the shirts, the bullied boy walked in. His face spoke volumes. ‘It looked like a huge weight was lifted off his shoulders,’ Mr. Price recalled.
The bullies were never heard from again
If you don't have a pink shirt, that's ok. Just wear something pink to show your support.

Bullying
Do you know if your child is being bullied? Here are some signs to watch for: Feelings of rejection, low self-esteem, poor grades at school, isolation, withdrawal from group activities at school and outside of school, aggressiveness, nervousness, extreme sensitivity, fear or refusal to go to school.
What is bullying? Psychologists define bullying as a power relationship carried on by one individual or a group of individuals towards another person. Bullying does not necessarily need to be brutal or of physical violence. Rumours, threats and hurtful words also lead to feelings of rejection.
What does bullying look like? Teasing, hair pulling, pushing, pinching, touching without consent, insulting somebody by making crude, sexist, racist or homophobic remarks, spreading rumours, threatening looks, unsightly gestures, writing unpleasant things about somebody (on paper or by email), threatening or scaring somebody, stealing, “taxing” (extortion of money and personal items).
Targets for bullying: Choice of clothing, physical differences or faults (fast, slow, big or small development), distinctive characteristics of parents (different education from other parents of the region, religion, origin, language), nutritional habits, speech impediments, introverted personality, solitary person.
What should children do? Do not answer back with verbal violence. Ignore the insults by walking with your head up high. If you witness bullying towards another student, it is best to immediately refer what you have seen to an adult.
What should parents do? Discuss the problem with your child and try to obtain the name of the bully. Discuss the problem with the teacher and the principal of the school. Advise the child, but try not to do everything in his or her place. Guide the child towards out-of-school activities. Do not encourage verbal or physical violence as a suitable means of defense. Do not trivialize the problem. Take it seriously! (Source: Mia Lambert, Jeunesse J’ecoute and Annie Fernandez, Le Journal de Quebec) |
