No Name Calling Week Focuses on Bullying and Related Youth Concerns

Nearly half (47%) of middle and junior high school youth in a recent US survey reported bullying and harassment as a problem of "somewhat" or "significant" proportion.

The website is sponsored by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network and Simon And Schuster Children's Publishing.
