  3. What is bullying? • It is one-sided (bad behavior does not go back and forth) • Involves a power imbalance (older against younger, group towards individual, popular versus less popular) • Repetitive/ongoing • Intention to hurt

  4. Types of Bullying • Physical (hitting, kicking, destroying property) • Verbal (name-calling, rumors, gossip, threats) • Social (leaving someone out, mean texts, dirty looks)

  5. Why do people bully? • The bullies have problems; something is bothering them • Someone has bullied them in the past • Because they can! (No one reported the bad behavior) • Poor choices were modeled by others • They are unable to handle stress or anxiety • To gain power

  6. What role do you play?Are you a bully, target or bystander? • Bully: Intentionally and repeatedly hurting others • Target: Being humiliated, hurt, left out (over and over) • Passive bystander: Seeing bullying behavior and doing nothing to stop it • Active bystander: Standing up for a person who is being treated badly

  7. What can we do? • Try not to take it personally (stay calm) • Be kind, compassionate and polite • Report the bad behavior • Ask: “What’s wrong?” • Use words to say: • How we feel • What we do not like • Please stop • What we will do to be safe
