PINK SHIRT BE KIND

 PINK SHIRT BE KIND DESIGNED BY IRENE TERRY

Pink Shirt Day is important because it raises awareness about the harmful effects of bullying, discrimination, and harassment. It promotes kindness, inclusion, and respect. Bullying, discrimination, and harassment can have severe and long-lasting impacts on people's mental health, self-esteem, and overall well-being

In 2007, in Berwick Nova Scotia, after a new student at their school was bullied for wearing a pink shirt, two grade 12 students bought 50 pink shirts and encouraged their classmates to wear pink. The next day they went to distribute the shirts and to their surprise, most students arrived wearing pink!
