3. Our Logo and Slogan
Slogan: Rise above bullying.
Our logo and slogan are both based
around giraffes. Giraffes are tall and
can metaphorically rise above
bullying. If we can all also learn to rise
above bullying, we can end bullying
world wide.

4. Our Big Goal
Our big goal is to end bullying world wide. We want to do this because;
● ⅓ of all children are victims of bullying
● Bullies and victims are more likely to suffer from mental health issues
● Victims are 2.6% more likely to attempt suicide
● Bullies themselves are usually victims as well but don’t seek proper help
● The majority of bullying cases go unreported

● 160,000 kids skip school each day because they’re being bullied
● Teachers only stop bullies 4% of the time
● 1 in 10 students drop out of school because of bullying
● ⅓ of bullying victims go on to develop social anxiety and depression
● Bullying is typically caused by a lack of communication
● From 6-12th grade about 20% of kids are bullied
