On the left, a child with a “KICK ME” sign taped to their back walks dejectedly, representing outdated, unchecked bullying. On the right, the same child wears a “DON’T KICK ME” sign, standing confidently-symbolizing increased awareness, assertiveness, and anti-bullying education. The visual metaphor underscores cultural shifts toward empathy, prevention, and student agency.
