Today is Pink Shirt Day. It's a day that we make all aware of the problems that are caused by bullying, and working together, we could put an end to it. Each day, we see bullying in our communities, in our workplaces, the schools, and online. We can't judge people, but they should think before they hit "send." This impacts on our youth who are seeing this on Facebook and across social media. Today, I stand here to say enough is enough. As individuals and as leaders across our territory and across our ridings that we represent, we have to stand up and work together to end bullying for our youth and for everybody to work together.
Bullying has serious impacts on our people, especially on our youth. I am afraid that our youth, who are often going through difficult times, suffer more that are bullied. That can contribute to mental health and alcohol and drugs and substance abuse. I am asking all Members of this Assembly today to join me and stand up against bullying. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
