Wednesday is Pink Shirt Day, an annual event against bullying.
In the fight against bullying, the Lanark County OPP and Smiths Falls Police Service often visit our schools to chat with students about the issue.
OPP Constable David Yome told us more about their talk that focuses on topics like cyber bullying
Yome says they’re also warning students to be careful about what they post online
With it being Pink Shirt Day, the officer wanted to share a few tips in case you or someone you know is being bullied
Other tips include finding support in the friends you hang out with to speak out against bullying, and take time to think about the qualities you want in a friend and try and instill those qualities in yourself.
