Bully Prevention
Bullying is defined as repeated and unwanted aggressive behavior that occurs over a period of time with an imbalance of power between the bully and the victim. Bullying behaviors can take many forms, including hitting, teasing, name-calling, intimidation, social exclusion, and sending insulting texts or emails. Girls who bully are more likely to use verbal and social methods, while boys who bully are more prone to use physical violence.
Regardless of what form bullying takes, developing an understanding of bullying and the facts and myths that surround it is critical to dealing with it effectively. You must be aware of its warning signs and be prepared to help kids who are bullied, kids who bully, and kids who are bystanders to bullying.
Keep in mind that it’s important to show kids how to resolve problems firmly and fairly, to guide them toward demonstrating assertive behavior, and to teach them that it’s OK to say "No" to unacceptable demands. Creating an emotionally and physically safe environment requires a coordinated effort among staff, students, families, and your community.
