Today is Spirit Day, an annual day of recognition in the US when millions wear purple and speak out against bullying.
Ben Cohen’s Stand Up Foundation, which speaks out against bullying and places a special emphasis on LGBT youth who are disproportionately singled out, is a good example of an organization that is talking about bullying and working to make life for kids better. While Spirit Day was started by GLAAD and is predominantly focused on schools in the US I wanted to use the day to encourage anyone – no matter where you may be to embrace this day, because ignoring this problem won’t make it go away.
