  1. Bullying: Give Students a Voice • Conduct anonymous survey. • Share responses with class. • Develop “bully free zone” action plan with students. • Create colorful prominent display. • Set-up anonymous comment box. • Organize assembly and invite guest speaker to talk on bullying. • Invite parents, teachers and other students to attend and take part in making the school a “bully free zone.”

  2. According to a 2008 guide from the American Academy of Childhood & Adolescent Psychiatry, “as many as half of all children are bullied at some time during their school years, and at least 10% are bullied on a regular basis.”

  3. Bullying may affect social and emotional development, and lead to increased suicidal thoughts among both victims and perpetrators.

  4. In a 2007 study, among 3,767 American middle school students, it was found that at least 11% were victims of electronic bullying (Journal of Adolescent Health).

  5. Although some people believe bullying is just part of adolescence, studies show that there may be a link between bullying and suicide, and experts say we need to take it more seriously and reach out to those who may be being bullied (“Bullying-Suicide Link Explored in New Study by Researchers at Yale”).
