For Schools

It’s Time to Make It Stop.

SFTS Founder Kirk Smalley urges, “It’s time… it’s time to make it stop.” We must end bullying, cyberbullying, and the tragic consequences they bring to schools, students, families, and communities.

To achieve this, we must bridge critical gaps in understanding. School administrators lack the complete picture held by students, teachers, parents, and community members. History shows that administrators cannot intervene effectively if they are unaware of the issues.

Data Reveals Key Insights

Stand for the Silent’s Student Surveys provide powerful data, consistently revealing crucial insights to school administrators about the student experience. Addressing bullying requires a unified team approach.

Understanding the Awareness Gap 

Administrators must recognize the significant disconnects within their schools. For instance, our surveys indicate that when students report bullying to a trusted adult, the situation improves only 18% of the time.

Consider the impact: If reporting bullying rarely led to positive change, how would students react? Would they escalate the situation themselves? Would their mental health suffer?

Empowering a Unified Response

We’ve learned repeatedly that administrators must empower students, teachers, parents, community members, and safety teams with the necessary awareness and tools. This ensures the right information reaches the right people at the right time, enabling immediate and effective action to stop bullying.
