Anti-Bullying

If you are being bullied…

·        Reach out and tell an adult or peer

·        Be calm in the moment

Remember: A lot of kids have to cope with being bullied. You are not alone. No one deserves to be bullied.

If you see bullying…

·        Stand next to, or speak up for, the person being bullied

·        Ask the bully to stop

·        Tell an adult

·        Comfort the person being bullied and offer friendship

If you are the bully…

·        May a commitment to change

·        Talk to an adult, like a teacher or parent, about how to get along with others

·        Ask a friend to help you stop your bully behavior

·        Apologize to the kids you have bullied

·        Think about what it feels like to be bullied – would you want to be treated that way?

·        Before you speak, think about whether your words will help or hurt another student

·        Resist peer pressure to bully

·        If you start to bully, walk away and find something else to do

 

Remember: You don’t have to like everyone around you, but you have to treat everyone with respect.
