Day 2: When the Classroom Becomes the Danger Zone

Nearly 4 in 10 students report being bullied inside the classroom, the very place they’re told they’re safe.

Bullying isn’t just happening behind the gym or in the hallway. It’s happening under the watch of teachers. In front of peers. Right in the heart of the school system.

And when it’s ignored or brushed off as “kids being kids,” it does something irreversible: It trains children to accept fear as part of their routine.

This isn’t just about emotional bullying. It’s about social bullying that goes unchecked in group settings. It’s about a system that protects the reputation of schools over the well-being of students.

When we talk about school safety, we can’t leave bullying out of the conversation. Because safety isn’t just about locked doors and drills, it’s about making sure every child feels seen, respected, and protected in their environment.

We’re also tracking the data. If you’re not angry yet, visit our bullying statistics page and see the numbers for yourself.

Let’s make an echo loud enough to reach every classroom in America.

Because fear doesn’t belong in a child’s learning space—respect does.
