Sadly, many young people experience bullying and cyberbullying. This is a growing problem that affects millions of children and teenagers in Europe, sometimes with devastating consequences.
That is why I commit to becoming an anti-bullying champion in my country, and I support the establishment of a EUROPEAN DAY AGAINST BULLYING, as called for by Members of the European Parliament earlier this year. I will raise awareness of the long term psychological impact that bullying can have on children and young people, and the need for action at a European level.
Many young people suffer in silence from bullying and cyberbullying. By continuously raising awareness and taking a stand in the debate I make my contribution to halting this problem and making bullying unacceptable in Europe.

The stories shared by many of you regarding the impact of bullying confirm that this issue requires urgent attention at the European level. I am currently working to ensure these personal accounts reach the representatives capable of initiating policy changes.

The momentum behind this initiative currently confirms that many people recognize the urgent need to address systemic bullying across Europe. This collective commitment provides a strong foundation for our upcoming efforts to advocate for structured change at the European level.

childhood goes by way to fast . the memories that we have of it should be happy ones not of being bullyed
I'm signing this petition because I was bullied alot just because I went to Special Education classes and alot of my teachers didn't care to do anything about it because they were stupid and crazy. This is why I got into fights in middle school. I got busted for standing up for myself. The school staff shouldn't allow bullying of any kind at any school at all!
my own son went thru this and it changed him so much. nobody should have to go to school scared every single day.
BULLYING IS FOR COWARDS. kids need to be protected more than they are now.
cyberbullying is honestly the worst thing ever because you cant even escape it at home. this needs to stop
Hi my name is Haley when I was in Junior High and High school I was a victim of Bullying. I was bullied for 5 and 1 (1/2)years and 2 weeks during the time I went to school. I was born with a disability called Spina Bifida. I was bullied for being in a wheelchair and called names. I was treated like I was invisible. The other students would throw their feet under my chair and make me run over their feet, then they would make fun of me for it. When they would be walking in the halls they would fall on me on purpose and tell me to watch where I was going. I have a brother who is in college now, but when he was in Junior high he got punched in the face for asking another kid to stop making fun of me. I also now have a 2year old little sister and a 5month old little brother, and I don't want things like that to happen to them when they start going to school.
