About Us

Don't  Be Silent was created with the purpose of bringing awareness to bullying and its pervasive 

nature. We often think of schoolyards when we think of bullying. Unfortunately bullying is 

more insidious and hard to corral in just our playgrounds. Bullying goes much deeper 

into our social networks. It may start on the schoolyard but from there, if not dealt with properly, 

works its way to daily life. It surfaces in our workplaces, our court systems, our town councils 

and the political arena, colleges and universities, families and so on, but it's so surreptitious that it 

goes unchecked until there is an undeniable crisis, often fatal and marked by a suicide or shooting. 

Many of these incidents could and can be prevented. If we can teach that silence can be 

deadly, that  ignoring and turning a blind eye to behavior we know in our gut is destructive, if we 

can teach that speaking up can save lives and it is a strength and not a weakness, we 

can create a movement that will start to bring bullying and its 

sometimes fatal results to an end.

Don't be Silent is a movement that brings educational events to communities of parents,

 teachers, town officials, and all people who can make a difference in the fight  

against bullying, one community at a time. As a large unit, we can work in getting laws

 passed protecting against behaviors commonly noticed as rites of passage and not as 

malevolent acts that cause devastating consequences. The purpose of our Movement 

is to help create platforms in communities, enabling them to recognize those behaviors 

that lead to unhealthy situations and support those who need to feel safe 

in speaking up. We can make a difference. Join the 

Don't Be Silent Movement and

 be part of the solution in ending bullying.
