Harassment • Students need to distinguish between harmless teasing and behavior that has crossed the line. • Students need to recognize that cloaking behavior under the guise of fun and humor does not change the fact that it’s still harassment.
Victims have rights • Students should recognize intentional and malicious teasing. • Victims and bystanders should stand up to the perpetrator. • Tell a teacher, councilor, police officer, or the principal.
