Stand Up To Bullying!

Know Your Legal and Civil Rights

PREVENT HATE is actively mobilizing against bullying through student-oriented solutions, creating programs and workshops for students and parents, offering practical solutions for our kids to be safe.

PREVENT HATE is also working with schools on creating student body patrols on campus to intervene against bullies, empowering their general student bodies to take a stand against bullying, and providing the kids with information about their legal and civil rights.

If you, or your child, is being victimized by a bully, it is important to determine whether any crimes are being committed. Talk to your local school and police department immediately with any concerns you have.
Every student has the RIGHT to attend school without worrying about violence, harassment, or intimidation. STOP BULLYING! Prevent hate.
