The resolution designates October of each year as "Bullying Prevention Month" in New Jersey, aiming to raise awareness about the various forms of bullying, its impacts on individuals of all ages, and the actions that can be taken to prevent such behavior.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of intervention by parents and school staff, as well as the obligation of schools to provide safe learning environments free from bullying.

Additionally, the resolution highlights the alarming rise in cyberbullying incidents and encourages parents to monitor their children's technology use to mitigate this issue. It calls for the Governor to issue an annual proclamation to promote Bullying Prevention Month, urging public officials and citizens to engage in activities and programs that foster understanding and prevention of bullying. The resolution aims to create a culture of awareness and proactive measures against bullying in New Jersey.
