Bullying is a major problem in Canadian schools, workplaces, homes, and on the internet. Three in four Canadian adults said they were bullied while in school, according to a new survey, while nearly half of the parents polled said their kids have been bullied at some point.

"Pink Shirt Day" is a national event encouraging Canadians to don pink shirts and take a stand against bullying by raising awareness of the problem. The movement began in Nova Scotia in 2007, after a student was bullied for wearing a pink shirt. It has since spread across Canada, with people of all ages joining in the fight against bullying.
