    3. _____Tenisha is in resource classes for a reading disability. At least two or three times per week when she is on her way to check in with her teacher, Davion calls her “stupid.” He knows she gets upset at this. It makes her feel bad the rest of the day.
    4. _____When Sara got home from school, she checked Facebook and saw a posting by Bonnie. It said “Sara got in trouble today for cheating on a test and had to stay in with the teacher.” Actually, Sara was talking to the teacher after class about an art project, but now she is embarrassed because everyone will think she was cheating. Bonnie often reports things about Sara that are embarrassing.
    5. _____Celania passes by this same kid every day. She does not even know him. He says “dumb- dumb” each time he goes by her He does this to lots of kids.
    6. _____Kyler ran out to the soccer field, excited that it was finally time to use the kick he had been practicing. When he arrived, the self-appointed captain and chooser of the team’s players told him he “sucked” at soccer and couldn’t play on his team. The other captain said “no way,” too. Kyler began to cry.
    7. _____Some of the girls in the 7th grade roll their eyes every time Kristin enters the cafeteria.
    8. _____Courtney’s mother told her she could invite two friends to a sleepover at her house on Saturday night. She invited two of her friends in the hallway while another of her friends was standing nearby. She held her cupped hand over her mouth and kept her eye on the friend she was not inviting. Her mother had reminded her to call her 2 selected friends instead of inviting them while at school because she had done this last year, and the uninvited friend’s feelings had been hurt.

    What Can Students Do?

    What Can Students Do If They are Bullied?

    • Tell an adult (at home and at school)
    • Be assertive, NOT aggressive
    • Assertive means looking the person in the eye and tellin them clearly and confidently, "Stop It!"
    • Aggressive means getting physical with the person and this is the wrong way to handle a bullying situation.
    • Give a neutral verbal response to de-escalate the situation (e.g., Say to the perpetrator, “So” or “Whatever”)
    • Communicate desires in a firm, calm voice (e.g., “Go away and stop bothering me!”)

    Always know when to walk away! Your safety is the most important thing!

    To ensure your safety:

    • Don’t go places where bullies hang out
    • Travel with others; avoid walking alone
    • Beware of signs that suggest the bullying is becoming violent (e.g., Pay attention to body language, take notice when the bullying behavior becomes physical and more aggressive, etc.)
    • Immediately get adult assistance if the bully has a weapon
    • Know your surroundings - Always know where to go for help

    Never be embarrassed to ask for help!

    Did you know…Almost 50% of teens see at least one bullying or taunting incident in school every day. Almost 30% see such episodes at least once a week.

    What Can Bystanders Do When They Know Someone is Being Bullied?

    • Get help from an adult when you see or hear someone being bullied
    • Avoid gossip; refuse to spread rumors
    • Refuse to join in when someone is being bullied
    • Create a distraction to draw the bully/bullies away
    • Include someone who is being left out from an activity
    • Speak up when someone is being bullied

    The fact is that most bystanders at least KNOW the bullying is wrong, but only 35% actually do something to help. To stop this epidemic from spreading, everyone must get involved. So if you see it or hear it happening, do something!
