  2. Did you know? • Bullying is the number 1 reason for teenage suicide

  3. Bullying • Bullying-a type of violence in which one person uses threats, taunts or violence to intimidate another again and again. • Bullying happens when someone keeps doing or saying things to hurt another person or to have power over them. • The most important thing to remember is that it is never the fault of the person being bullied.

  4. Types of bullying • Physical bullying-hitting, kicking, spitting, pushing, or taking personal belongings • Verbal bullying-teasing, name-calling, or making threats • Psychological bullying- spreading rumors, isolating a person, or threatening to use factors. • Cyber bullying

  5. What Can You do if you are being bullied? • You have every right to feel safe and secure in school and out. Most schools have rules and a policy against bullying and will take your complaint seriously. Many states have laws against bullying. Breaking the silence is a very important part in fighting back against bullying. • Remain calm do not show you are upset(getting you upset is the bully’s goal) • Look the person in the eye and tell him/her to stop it • Don’t believe the rumors(If you know who is saying nasty things ask that person if he/she believes it. If the person says “NO” it’s over. If the person says “YES” tell him/her “You can believe it if you want to, but it’s not true.” Walk away and don’t respond again) • Have a sense of humor • Try to avoid the person who is doing the bullying. • Do not look for revenge or you may get in trouble • Keep a log write down dates, times and places the bullying occurs • Tell an adult you trust and discuss what you would like to happen • Remember it’s not your fault

  6. If you see or know someone who is bullied: • Stop it if you can do so without putting anyone in danger (Sometimes just yelling “Stop It” or “Cut it out” is all that is needed) • Go get help, send for help or call for help if it does not stop(If you are afraid, go quietly and get help) • Do something. If you do nothing, clap or stand around you are telling the person who is bullying you agree with the bad behavior  • Be a friend to the victim/target • Encourage the victim/target to tell an adult that can be trusted • Offer to go with the target/victim to report the incident • Encourage the target/victim not to retaliate (it is likely this behavior will make the situation worse or the wrong person will get in trouble)  • Let the other person know it is not their fault • Be a hero

  7. Cliques: • People might think it's better to belong to a clique than to be excluded; many times people in cliques end up dealing with lots of pressures and rules. They start to worry about whether they'll continue to be “in” or whether they'll be dropped. After a while, they may begin to realize that true friends wouldn't be so bossy or demanding. • Cliques aren’t just for girls. Guys form cliques too- usually around a sport, computer game, type of clothing or music. They can be as mean as girls about excluding others from the group.
