  19. DISCUSSION • The issue of bullying is an issue of character.  Let’s listen to some quotes about character and discuss what we think they mean.

  20. WHAT IS CHARACTER? • Character is achieved and not received. It is the product of constant action, daily striving to make the right choice. - NJHS definition of character.

  21. PERSONALITY •  Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open  - Elmer Letterman

  22. CHARACTER • Character, in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike.   - Theodore Roosevelt, American adventurer and 26th president (1858-1919)

  23. YOUR THOUGHTS • Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become character. Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny. – Unknown

  24. CHARACTER • Character is doing the right thing when nobody's looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing that's right is to get by, and the only thing that's wrong is to get caught. - J. C. Watts

  25. CHARACTER & REPUTATION • Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are. - John Wooden

  26. WHO IS IT? • What individuals in your life (school, family, friends, community, world, etc…) do you admire because of their character?  Who and why?

  27. DEVELOPING CHARACTER • If you are working to develop a strong character, how have you, will you, or should you react when faced with: • ·     The temptation to bully someone else or serve as an instigator? • ·     A situation where you are the target of bullying? • ·     The choice to be an up-stander or bystander?
