Missouri needs to make an active effort to prevent and eliminate bullying in our schools.

Often dismissed as a rite of passage, bullying is a real and serious problem that should not be taken lightly. Verbal and physical abuse from one’s peers prevents children from reaching their fullest potential, and the habit of non-action only perpetuates this culture of harassment.

Missouri NEA’s No MOre Bullying program currently helps school communities make a whole-school campaign against bullying a part of the school culture. But they cannot do it alone.

Please join in the effort and take responsibility for the safety and well being of Missouri’s children. Their future depends on it.
