Teens for Healthy Youth Create Awareness for October National Bullying Prevention Month

Teens for Healthy Youth (THY) Created Awareness for October National Bullying Prevention Month in their schools. THY Bluffton High School encouraged their peers to participate in National Unity Day on October 22nd, by having an orange dress-down day and by distributing orange bullying prevention bracelets and pins at the school entrance. Each school club signed an orange flag and placed it at the flagpole in the morning to show that the school is united in stopping bullying.  They also allowed students to sign the bullying prevention banner during all lunches to promote an inclusive, kind, and accepting environment that does not tolerate bullying. This was showcased on Bluffton High and THY social media. THY also made a video to challenge each club and athletic team at Bluffton High to make their own video in which they maintained they stand united with THY against bullying.
