One Direction has teamed up with Office Depot on a campaign to fight bullying. It is crazy to me how young the bullying starts! My kids are only in third grade, and it is insane some of the things they tell me kids in their class and on the bus have said to each other. And, I'm sure it gets worse the farther they get in school.
I myself was mercilessly bullied throughout my elementary school years, resulting in the need to change schools one year, and "home"schooling the last quarter of another year. I would walk to the school after classes were over and gather my work from the teacher as to avoid my tormentors.
I hope that this campaign can help stop the bullying. If it can help just one kid, it will have been worth it! Keep reading to find out how you can help and what you can win!
September is National Bullying Prevention Month.
To bring awareness, One Direction is joining with Office Depot. One Direction has challenged its fans to help raise $250,000 for the Office Depot Foundation’s anti-bullying education efforts. Part of the money is being raised by selling exclusive 1D + OD products, including notebooks, bracelets, and nail polish. Each item encourages tweens and teens to exhibit positive attributes. And each attribute is tied to a color and a One Direction member. There's nice (light blue), confident (purple), unique (green), original (orange), and true (navy).
You can check out the full list of products here. A portion of the limited edition product sales will go toward the Office Depot Foundation's anti-bullying education program.
Speaking of the products, we are joining with Drugstore Divas to give one lucky reader a tote bag filled with One Direction and Office Depot items.
