October is Bullying Prevention Month. Let’s Have the Bigger Conversation.
Orange You Curious invites young people, and the adults who support them, to think about how media shapes the way we communicate, connect, and treat one another, both online and off.
HOW DOES MEDIA LITERACY HELP PREVENT BULLYING?
QUESTION
Analyze what they see online and recognize harmful messages.
UNDERSTAND
Develop empathy and see different perspectives.
SPEAK UP
Feel confident reporting and responding to unkind behavior.
CREATE CHANGE
Use their voices to build safer more supportive communities, both online and in-person.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Bullying prevention takes all of us. Small actions can help create environments where young people feel supported, valued, and confident speaking up when something isn’t right.
WEAR ORANGE
Show your support for bullying prevention and help raise awareness in your community.
START A CONVERSATION
Ask young people about their experiences online and in person. Listen, stay curious, and make sure they know where to turn for help.
TAKE ACTION
Share the message, bring prevention resources into your school or community, and create opportunities for youth voice.
SUPPORT OUR WORK
Donate to MPY to help more young people access programs and opportunities that build safer, more supportive communities.
SEE YOUTH VOICE IN ACTION
In Franklin, New Hampshire, students used media and storytelling to explore their community and help others see their city through their eyes. The filmmaking class project gave young people an opportunity to build connections and contribute to how their community tells its story.
