The Domestic Abuse Council hosted its third annual Purple Parade Sept. 27.
With a mission to prevent bullying and domestic violence, the Domestic Abuse Council hosted its third annual Purple Parade Sept. 27 in Daytona Beach.
Students from kindergarden to 12th grade came out to enjoy face painting, magicians and self-defense demonstrations. Bella Piparo, 17, shared her experience with being bullied that started in the fifth grade. Now a senior in high school, Piparo said she is still healing.
“Please do not abandon your friend," Piparo said. "What bullies say is convincing, but it is still not true. We cannot be silent bystanders. We have to help the bullied. I have gone from cowering to courageous and I ask all of you to join me today to take a stand against bullying and pledge to help those who are being bullied.”
