Over 3.2 million students are victims of bullying each year.
Approximately 160,000 teens skip school every day because of bullying.

The effects of bullying can attack a child's well being. It can severely impact their mental health, drive them to substance abuse, and elevate the risk of suicide.

A LIFE SAVED

Several years ago, our 2014 Youth Award Honoree Jaylen Arnold was giving a presentation on the effects of bullying at a middle school in Florida. After the presentation, a girl named Rose approached him and confided in him that she was planning to commit suicide that night. She even showed Jaylen the marks on her arms where she had been cutting.

Because of Jaylen's presentation through his nonprofit organization, Jaylen's Challenge, he was able to connect and intervene. Rose told him that she didn't want to die anymore, and with resources Jaylen was able to pull together, they saved her life.

This article by Jeannine Stein from Los Angeles Times analyzes an article performed by the American Psychology Association that survey random ninth-grade students from Virginia high schools about bullying incidents they have witnessed or experienced. The article focused on if bullying climates in schools resulted in lower academic scores. The results from the survey showed that ninth-grade students from Virginia schools scored passed three to six percent lower on standardized tests in algebra, Earth science, and world history when experiencing more intense bullying climate. Stein points out that correlation does not equal causation, but a more intense bullying climates are linked to lower academic scores in school. This could be because students who experience bullying are not as involved with academics and teachers may be focusing more on discipline than academics. Either way, bullying is an issue that has been brought to attention and requires action. (146)

Our Story

In 2005, STOMP Out Bullying was born with the passion and commitment to help all youths in need. Our founder and CEO, Ross Ellis, never wants to see another child in pain, and she never again wants to hear the words, "I want to die."

15 year-old David, was severely depressed due to being bullied. He had been called every possible name one could imagine. He didn't want to go to school, he quit extra-curricular sports. On the days that he did go to school he stayed in his room when he got home and shut his family and friends out. David was surfing the Web and found STOMP Out Bullying. He started reading our "Are You Being Bullied?" page and read about the comebacks. He learned to successfully use the comebacks which helped to make the bully stop victimizing him. Today, David is empowered and enjoys going to school. This is just one of millions of ways we have made an impact on the lives of America's students.
