BULLYING?

   Bullying is when a group or individual purposely uses words or physical actions to harm or intimate others. Bullying can take place online, in schools, the work place, home, or just about anywhere. Bullying is a widespread, fast growing problem all around the world. People who are considered "different" are often made targets by bullies. The taunting often leaves many to feel helpless and alone. The goal of Operation Purple Sky is to show everyone that there is hope that things will get better and that no one is alone.
