BULLYING, BULLYING, STOP IT!STOP IT!
Carla was mad at her friend Joy. Carla sent a modified picture of Joy to many boys and girls of the school via internet.
As Rita made her way to her desk, she fell on her face when John tripped her. Everybody in the class laughed.
Steven was new at school. When he tried to hang out with other boys at the playground, Greg said that Steven was a “loser” and punched him in the nose. All the other boys stood there and watched.
Joan got a new outfit over the weekend. When she arrived at school, Shelley started to call her names because Joan’s outfit was different. Eventually, all the other girls were laughing at her too.
Do you identify with Joy, Rita, Steven or Joan from these scenarios? If so, you have been a victim of bullying. Bullying comes in many forms. It can happen in the school, on the playground and even in the classroom. Our aim is to find solutions to prevent bullying!
