enjoy isn't the answerYou have a right to be thereThink that you're a tattle tale if you tellTelling is NOT tattlingIt's the right thing to do
The Victim – Don’t
Hurt yourselfSome kids get so sad and depressed that they may
try to hurt themselvesThey think there is nothing else they can doThis definitely isn't the answerTalk with an adult immediately and tell them how
you are feelingThey can help stop the bullying
The Bystander
Report the bullying to an adultIt's the right thing to do and it's not tattlingWho should you tell?
Teacher School counselor or nurse Parents Coach Any adult you feel comfortable talking with
The Bystander
Ask a friend to go along with youTell the adult exactly what happened
Who was bullied Who did the bullying Where and when it happened
If you're not sure if another kid is being bullied but you think they probably are – it's good to report that, too
The Bystander
Most adults really care about bullying and will be VERY glad that you told them
If you told an adult and you don't think they did anything about the bullying (or if it isn't getting any better), find another adult to tell
The Bystander
Support someone who is being bullied Just be there for him or her and be a friend Walk home after school Sitting together on the bus or at lunch Include him or her in school activities Spend some time with him or her Understand what he or she is going through Show that you care about him or her and the problems he
or she is facing
The Bystander
Stand up to the person doing the bullying: Tell the bully that what he or she is doing is wrong Tell the bully that he or she should stop Keep it simple Get some friends to join you They are more likely to stop if it's not cool Don't bully them back It's not easy to stand up to kids who may be bigger and
stronger than you or really popular Be sure to tell an adult
The Bully
If you are hurting or threatening others in some way
If you are using your size, strength or popularity to do it
If you do it repeatedly and oftenYou're probably bullying someone
The Bully
Hurting and making others feel bad is NEVER cool
Admitting that you are doing things to harm others takes some guts
Trying to find out what you should do to change the way you're acting
That's a step in the right direction
The Bully
Think about what you're doing and how it affects others
You may have forgotten what it feels like to be hurt yourself Calling others names Pushing, hitting or stealing is funny Teasing, hitting, keeping others out of a group
The Bully
So the next time you are about to bully someone: Put yourself in their shoes Think about how it must make them feel And just don't do it
