The power of courage...

1. Bullying2. The role of the

‘bystander’3. What you can

do for yourself and others

What is bullying?

Bullying is where there is an imbalance of power...and repeated abuse... Physical Verbal Emotional

What is bullying?

Bullying can be repeated physical attacks... Hitting Pushing Spitting Kicking Stealing

What is bullying?

Bullying can be repeated verbal attacks... Threats Name calling Lying Negative remarks

What is bullying?

Bullying can be repeated emotional intimidation... Exclusion Spreading rumours and gossiping

Intimidation Humiliation

What is ‘BYSTANDER’?

In almost every case of bullying there is a bystander...

What is ‘BYSTANDER’?

The bystander sees or witnesses what’s going on

They see the scuffles in the school hallway, and read the vicious stream of insults on Facebook, but sadly... look away, or log off

Every bystander’s choice...

The bystander who sees or witnesses what’s going on...has a choice...to act...or to ignore.

What it means to be courageous...

And doing the right thing sometimes takes courage...

What research says about the BYSTANDER role...

Canadian research says, “One student

confronting a bully is often enough to stop the abuse instantly”

What research says about the BYSTANDER role...

American research says, “...support doesn’t

even need to be that daring: victims said that peers helped most by simply spending time with them, and sharing advice.”

What research says about the BYSTANDER role...

But research also says... “...that students

offer assistance on the scene or later less than 25 % of the time.”

WHY??

What research says about the BYSTANDER role...In a recent survey by Wendy Craig, a

Queen’s University psychologist and a leading Canadian researcher on bullying, students said ...they wanted to help, but didn’t step in because...

1. They didn’t know how

2. Were worried about being considered “a rat” if they told a teacher

3. Didn’t trust adults to be effective

What research says about the BYSTANDER role...

Yet....Dr. Craig’s research also says... that when

students spoke up, or jumped in physically, half of the bullying ended abruptly

What can you do as a BYSTANDER to bullying...?

However, directly confronting the bully is not the only option...

According to a 2010 survey of 13,000 students from Grade 5 to Grade 12...victims of bullying reported that bystanders were the most helpful when they...

1. comforted them after the fact2. helped them get away from the

situation3. or gave them advice

What can you do as a BYSTANDER to bullying...?

These 3 response ranked higher than even getting an adult to intervene....

1. comfort them after the fact

2. Help them get away from the situation

3. give them advice

What can you do as a BYSTANDER to bullying...?

You have the power to change a situation for someone...

It takes a bit of courage...do you have it? Or are you satisfied watching it happen in front of you.
