TEN TIPS TO PREVENT BULLYING.
1. Be a friend to someone who is being
bullied: Walk with
the target in the hall, sit with her at lunch, welcome her into your group,
"friend" her on Facebook.
2. Help the target talk to an adult: Walk with her to a counselor's
officer or a teacher, or make a witness report if you were there when the
bullying occurred.
3. Don't participate: Avoid spreading rumors,
contributing to online bullying, laughing at mean remarks, or actively adding
to the bullying in any way.
4. Tell the bully to stop: Assertively tell the bully that you
don't like what she's doing, that it's bullying, and that it needs to stop. And
always speak to an adult when you witness bullying.
5.
Tell
bystanders to stop:
If you see others participating in bullying or laughing along, tell them
they're making the problem worse and are also bullying. Stop untrue
rumors.
6. Reach out to newcomers: If you notice a new person at your
school, reach out to her; introduce her to your friends and make her feel
welcome.
7. Don't be afraid to think
independently or be the only one voicing what others are probably thinking: The people most celebrated in our
culture are those who took the risk to speak out and stand up to injustice.
8. Start an upstander club at your
school: Let others
know you dislike bullying and you want to struggle against it with more people
and they will find support if they're bullied.
9. Talk to parents, teachers, principals,
and staff about bullying at school: Tell them where it's happening, and where kids
need greater protection.
10. Sign an anti-bullying pledge: Write down your own commitment to
preventing bullying, and ask your friends to sign their agreement.
