When Bullying is Also

Harassment Bullying is part of a continuum of aggression and violence,

and at times may amount to harassment. Harassmentoccurs when a student is the target of threatening, disturbing

or unwelcome behaviors because of a legally protected

characteristic, such as disability, actual or perceived sexual

orientation, gender or race. Sexual Harassment occurs

when a student is asked for sexual favors or is the target ofunwelcome sexual behavior or discussion which makes a

student feel uncomfortable, scared or confused and which

interferes with their schoolwork or ability to participate in

school activities or attend classes.


7/25

What Do I Do if I See Bullying

Going On? You, the victim or an adult must tell the bully to stop.

If the bully continues the behavior you must report it!!!!!!!!!

If you are a bystander and see something going on that is

clearly wrong and you dont report it you are responsible!

This is a law that you will have to follow throughout the rest of

your life!

At school, you can report bullying by telling a teacher or

administrator privately, or writing down what happened and

put it in the counselor envelope.


8/25

The Issue

We are supportive of highlighting positivebehavior but there are consequences for

unacceptable behavior at school and in

the real world.


9/25

We Must Teach!

We are not loving you if we do not teachyou the life lesson that there are

What is bullying?


18/25

Bullying is intentional (not an accident) a bully hurts someone on

purpose.

Bullying is repetitive. This means that the bully hurts someone over and

over again, it isnt an incident that happens only once.

In general, bullying is where one person acts like they have more power

than another, and does whatever they can to hurt that person.
