Anti-Bullying

What is bullying?
Bullying and harrassment occur when people use and abuse power to trouble, annoy or oppress a person. Students should report bullying to the teacher who is supervising them. That is, their classroom teacher at the time or the teacher on playground duty.
Stopping bullying starts with you!
- Treat everyone with respect
- Know that "put-downs" hurt others
- Help others who are being bullied.
If someone tries to bully you:
- Ignore them if possible.
- If you can, look them in the eye, tell them to "stop" and then walk away.
- Ask for support from an adult.
If you have been bullied:
- Talk to an adult (parent, teacher) who can help you to stop the bullying.
- Let your friends know what is happening.
- Go to places where you feel safe.
- Keep on asking for support until the bullying is stopped.
