bullying awareness week Erica nee – loyola university maryland
Started off with data (Survey) • I randomly polled 3 homerooms from each grade: • Roughly 80-90 students representing their grade (about 10% of school population) • Anonymous, but included grade and gender for eventual data comparisons • Questions included both closed and open formats (examples): • “On a scale of 1-5, how much of a problem do you thinking bullying is at your school?” • “How often do you see others being bullied?” • “Where do you see others being bullied?” • “What do you think would help the bullying problem at your school?”
“I would like to learn more about…” *Note: 6th graders chose significantly more choices than other grades
Flyers all around school Monday morningoutside of every bathroom, overtop of every water fountain, on food machines in cafeteria, on windows looking outside

In cafeteria – pledge students can sign after seeing presentations
Presentations included • Overview of definition and examples of bullying (all forms) • Real-life statistics of how bullying affects Middle Schoolers • The story of Megan Meier’s BULLYCIDE & the “Megan Pledge” – increase awareness of cyberbullying and empower youth to take positive action to prevent it. • Empowering students by giving constructive examples of how to stand up to bullies • “The Bystander Effect” – the power of stopping bullying is in the hands of the people who are bystanders • A small video clip of real-life ways to “be more than a bystander”
