Did you know that one in five school-age children report being bullied at school?

Today, October 21, is Unity Day, the signature event of National Bullying Prevention Month.

Big thanks to listener Ruth who wrote in to tell us that she is a public school teacher and her school is uniting today against bullying. "Right now, more than ever, kids need hope that the bullies of the world can be stopped," she said.
