No Name-Calling Week Pledge Students can help to end name calling in their school by taking the No Name Calling Week (NNCW) pledge and encouraging other students to do the same. Students who take the pledge commit to:
Not bully other students or call them hurtful names.
Intervene, if they safely can, in situations where students are being called names.
Support efforts to end bullying and name calling
How did No Name Calling week get started? No Name-Calling Week was inspired by a middle grade novel entitled The Misfits by popular author James Howe in which a group of students organize a “No Name-Calling Day” at school. Motivated by this simple, yet powerful idea, the No Name-Calling Week Coalition, created by GLSEN and Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing, and consisting of over forty national partner organizations, organized an actual No Name-Calling Week in schools for the first time in 2004.
