Our Main Focus • Verbal bullying is the most common form of bullying for young people. • Therefore, it will be our main focus in this presentation.

What’s not acceptable • Just Kidding is NOT acceptable. Its NOT an excuse. It IS bullying. • Don’t say anything you wouldn’t say to your best friend. • If you don’t know what the person’s reaction will be (ex: laugh it off, take it personally, etc.) then don’t say anything at all.
What to do if you are being targeted: A void being alone with the person who bullies you. Call (ask) for help (friend, teacher, principal, parent). Take a stand- tell the person bullying to stop the behavior.
You Have a Choice • All of us have a choice when we see bullying going on. We can do nothing, we can join in with the bully or we can help the victim. • What choice are you going to make?
