Before you SPEAK, TEXT, POST…. What are the Consequences?
Why Do Bystanders “Stand By” and Watch? • 35% do something (UP-Standers) • 38% believe it’s “none of their business” • 27% want to do something…but don’t…because…
An “Up-Stander is Someone Who… • Sticks up for you • Takes a stand against bullying • Helps you when you need it most
Don’t Stand By…Stand Up!! • Did you know… • --That if one person watching a bullying situation says "Stop it!", half the time the bullying will stop? --When you stand by and do nothing you’re saying that bullying is okay with you. It makes you no better than the bully themselves.
What You Can Do…as an Up-Stander • Speak up!...use your voice • Don’t give the bully an audience! • Be there!...stand next to the person being bullied
Up-standers are the Key to Stop Bullying • You could say… • “Leave him alone.” • “That’s not cool!” • “We don’t do that here!” • “Let’s get out of here!” • “Hey! That’s not funny.” • “Stop!” with eye contact
What You Can Do…If You Are Being Bullied • Ignore the bully & Walk away • Laugh …use humor to make the situation better • Stand up to the bully in a non-violent way • Be assertive • “Stop it, I don’t like what you are doing.” • Report the bullying to a trusted adult
How to Report… • Tell a teacher, counselor or administrator • Use the Buddy Box • Text to the OHMS Buddy Line 801-997-0771 • Facebook message the “OHMS Counseling Center” Facebook page
