Anti-Bullying Day is a day when people wear a pink shirt to symbolize a stand against bullying. It originated in Canada and is now celebrated on various dates around the world. The original event was organized by David Shepherd and Travis Price of Berwick, Nova Scotia, who in 2007 bought and distributed 50 pink shirts after male ninth-grade student Chuck McNeill was bullied for wearing a pink shirt during the first day of school. In Nova Scotia, Nova Scotia Premier Rodney MacDonald proclaimed the second Thursday of September "Stand Up Against Bullying Day" in recognition of these events.
I think that pink shirt day is a good idea because it shows everyone that people care about bully and that it is a problem that needs to stop
