In the US One out of every five students report being bullied. Students who experience bullying are at increased risk for depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties, lower academic achievement, and dropping out of school. Students who experienced bullying or cyberbullying are nearly 2 times more likely to attempt suicide. 

Jinan recently published a book for kids called “Tiny Polly”. The story of a brave bullied chicken who just wants acceptance. Her mission is to bring awareness to bullying and educate kids about acceptance.
