Most agree that bullying involves:

Imbalance of Power: People who bully use their power to control or harm, and the people

being bullied may have a hard time defending themselves.

Intent to Cause Harm: Actions done by accident are not bullying; the person bullying has agoal to cause harm.

Repetition: Incidents of bullying happen to the same person over and over by the same personor group.

Different Kinds of Bullying

Bullying can take MANY forms. Examples include:

Verbal: Name-calling and teasing.

Social: Spreading rumors, leaving people out on purpose, and breaking up friendships.

Cyber bullying: Using the Internet, mobile phones, or other digital technology to harm others.

Psychological: Being threatened or being forced to do things you do not want to do.

Racial: Bullying based on a persons ethnicity, the color oftheir skin, or their family background.

Sexual: Bullying that abuses someone sexually by inappropriate contact, messages, looks, andgestures.

Physical: Hitting, punching, shoving, and having things taken away.

According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services and the OLWEUS

Bullying Prevention Program, bullying is a widespread and serious problem that can happenanywhere. Its not a phase people have to go through, its not "just messing around", and its

not something you grow out of. The reality of it is:

Bullying can cause serious and lasting harm. It often does.

Students Who are BulliedEveryone should feel safe at school, on the playground, and online, and at home.

But when someone experiences bullying, they no longer feel safe, and they no longerfeel comfortable doing daily activities such as going to school, playing sports, or

chatting on social sites. Bullying can affect the individual physically and mentally,and these types of effects can last long into their future:

Depression, anxiety, low self-esteem Pattern of withdrawal, shame or fearfulness Unexpected or random bursts of anger Physical health problems:

o Lack of appetiteo Loss of energy

Diminished social contacts & friends Poor grades, excuses to avoid school Suicidal thoughts Drug or alcohol use Unexplained bruises or injuries Damaged or missing belongings

EEEffffffeeeccctttsssooofffBBBuuullllllyyyiiinnnggg

One student can make a difference, positive or negative, and the impact can be far greaterthan they realize. When someone who is being bullied and someone sees someone else being

bullied, the experience has a negative impact on everyone involved, including bystanders.Bullying can change the feel and culture of the entire school.

Cyberbullying has Become a HUGE Problem!Cyberbullying happens when a child, preteen, or teen

is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated,embarrassed, or targeted by another child, preteen, or teen

using the Internet, interactive and digital technology, or

mobile phones. It has to have a minor on both sides, or at

least have been instigated by a minor against another minor.Once adults become involved, it is plain and simple cyber

harassment or cyber stalking. The youth may be a cyber

bully one moment, and then may become the victim the next.Youth often change roles, going from victim to bully and

back again. Cyberbullying is usually not a one-time

communication, unless it involves a death threat or a threat

of serious harm. Typically it happens over and over againThere are two kinds of cyber bullying, direct attacks

(messages sent directly) and cyberbullying by proxy (using

others to help cyber bully the victim, either with or without

the accomplice's knowledge).

Almost 50% of

teens have been

harassed online

71% of youth receive

messages from

strangers online

30% of youth think

about meeting

those strangers

face-to-face

R U A w a r e ?

The term "cyberbullying" was first coined and defined by Canadian educator and anti-

bullying activist Bill Belsey, as "the use of information and communication technologies tosupport deliberate, repeated, and hostile behavior by an individual or group, that is

intended to harm others." Cyberbullying emerged as online technology became moreaccessible to teens. (Wikipedia)

Cyberbullying may be more harmful than traditional bullying!


11/34

Cyberbullying can have more harmful and longer-lasting effects. It is quickly becoming amajor problem. Anyone can be a bully online, no matter what their size, strength, amount

of friends, or other factors. And this type of bullying does not end once school is over, or

once youth leave school. Cyberbullying can occur 24/7 since youth can be virally connected

via computers or hand-held devices. For example, a recent American Educational ResearchAssociation study shows that female bullies preferred

the use of text messaging harassment versus face-to-

face bullying by 2 to 1.

Cyberbullying is a very difficult form of bullying to

prevent and to police. A major difference betweencyberbullying and traditional bullying is the ability to

bullywithout a face-to-face confrontation.Teens feel

like they are powerful because of the false feeling of

being anonymous, and they say things they might not have

said in person. Also, identifying a cyber bully isn't as

easy as identifying the traditional big bad bully. Students

can be careless in their security with usernames and

passwords, so messages can be falsely written by

individuals and misrepresented.

Effects of CyberBullyingThe long-term impact of cyberbullying is greater than

with traditional bullying. Digital images, cell phones, and

other electronic means can really let a bully's messagesspread quickly. Messages sent to ruin someone's

reputation can be much more damaging than a face-to-face interaction. Instead of the

interaction being between a small group, text or photos can be sent to a very large group in

a short amount of time. Also, once things are posted or shared online, it is very hard toget rid of every trace of what was said or posted. The cyberbullying can last much, much

longer.

Perhaps the greatest long-term effect is the loss of the homeas a safe-zone. Traditional bullying usually ended when a person

was home, safe with their family. Cyberbullying enters into the

home and is with the victim at all times.

Hurtful Bystanders Start the bullying by encouraging the bully to

begin

Encourage the bullying by laughing, cheering, ormaking comments

Join in the bullying once it has begun Accept bullying by watching and doing nothing,

which provides the bully with an audience

Craves and the silent acceptance that allowsbullies to continue their behavior

Helpful BystandersUpstanders! Directly intervene, by discouraging the bully,

defending the victim, or redirecting the situation

away from bullying

Get help, by rallying support from peers to stand upagainst bullying or by reporting the bullying to

adults

Dont get involvedphysically (getting involvedphysically can just made the situation worse)

Work to stop the situation by getting an adultinvolved and reporting what happened

Offer words of encouragement or positivemessages to the victim

RRRooollleeesssooofffBBBuuullllllyyyiiinnnggg

Buddy or Bully? Bystander or UPstander?When someone is being bullied, there are often people watching what is happening or hearing

about what is happening. These participants are called bystanders. Bystanders may think thatthey arent able to help someone who is being bullied, but they can! Bystanders can also hurt

the situation. Its not very often that bystanders can remain neutral.

Bystanders who dont stand up to bullying can experience negative results: Pressure to participate in the bullying Anxiety about speaking to anyone about the bullying Powerlessness to stop bullying Vulnerability to becoming victimized Fear of associating with the victim, the bully, or the bullys pals Guilt for not having defended the victim

Teen BullyingTeens may continue to use the Internet and other technology to bully, including social

media, text messages, and others. They may also resort to using gossip, trying to ruin the

reputation of the victim. Sexual harassment may start during this age.

Middle School BullyingMany studies show that bullying tends to peak during this age of life. Boys tend to

experience more physical bullying (being hit, pushed, punched, etc.), and girls tend to

experience bullying by exclusion (not talking to certain people, not inviting them to events,etc.). Cyberbullying can also happen.

Elementary BullyingVictims in the elementary school may experience name-calling, which may lead to lower

self-esteem. They may also experience cyberbullying that uses many kinds of technology.

Bullying can also take the form of playground, lunchroom, and bus fights; taunts; or

exclusion.

What bullying occurs at what age?


16/34

Teen RoleTeens have a very important part to play when it comes to stopping bullying. First, you

should be willing to speak out for the victim and not just be a passive bystander. Then

make sure that you show that bullying is not OK. Its not normal behavior that you should

put up within your school. Teen leaders should work on creating a campaign in schools and

communities that focuses on the harmful effects of bullying and also gives support to

those teens who have been or who are being bullied, as well as those who are doing the

bullying. Your voice can be the change that makes the difference in someones life. Put

yourself in the shoes of that person being bullied. You should ask yourself:

Parent Role

Remember that behavior patterns can begin at home. Parents that teach their childrengood communication and social skills at home will help with the childs success at school.

Parents should also ask teens questions about how their day went, giving teens an open

outlet to share. They should also get to know their teens friends and classmates and be

observant of their teens behavior, appearance, and mood, both for signs of being bullied

and signs of being a bully. Changes that show a child might be bullied are loss of appetite,

mood changes, not wanting to go to school, and depression. Signs that show a child might

be a bully include being impulsive, not feeling sorry for others, or wanting to be in charge.Parents should also remember to set up a healthy

discipline plan at home because the way a discipline plan

at home is established will affect the childs interactions

with others at school. Parents should also monitor theirown behavior. They should ask themselves:

RRRooollleeesss:::TTTeeeeeennn,,,PPPaaarrreeennnttt,,,EEEddduuucccaaatttooorrr,,,&&&CCCooommmmmmuuunnniiitttyyy

What does it feellike to have someone

stick up for me?

Are we doing something at

home - like name-calling, using

physical force, issuing threats -that is promoting bullying at

school?


17/34

Educator RoleEducators have an important part to play in preventing and stopping bullying. First, schools

need to plan and make consequences clear for those children who choose to bully. A policy

needs to be put in place, and that policy should be enforced. It is also important to

respect and protect the anonymity of the victim and the reporting students in the school.Doing this builds trust in the student body. Educators can also work to set up programs

that give peers opportunities to provide support to students who have been bullied. It is

important to show that bullying is not normal behavior and that there are more students

who dont bully than there are that do. Educators then need to be willing to intervene.

Several childrens books also deal with the topic of bullying, and these books could be read

in class. Even using the strategy of cooperative learning can help students learn to get

along. They should ask themselves:

Community Role

Communities can do several things to prevent or stop bullying. They can provide mentalhealth or counseling services to the victims of bullying and also to bullies. They can also

set up education programs to share with parents the signs of bullying and to involve

parents in bullying prevention programs and activities. Community agencies can also

partner with schools to help implement bullying prevention programs by providing

resources, staff, and/or funding. These agencies can also integrate bullying prevention

into their youth activities and help to educate public health workers, educators, and law

enforcement officers. Communities can also place billboards or signs around town that

focus on an anti-bullying message. Everyone wants to feel welcome in his or her

community. Communities should ask themselves:

Are we doing

anything thatpromotes bullying

behavior?

Does everyone feel

safe living here?


18/34

Peer-to-peer Education Spreads the Best Awareness!YOUTH can make a difference! When you get together

with your friends and really push to spread awareness

about the dangers and harmful effects of bullying, you

empower others to do the same thing. Peers in your school

and in your community need your leading voice to help them

know that theyre not alone, that bullying is not OK, and

that there is someone willing to stick up for them, someone

who thinks that theyre important. Lend a helping hand by

working to educate your peers, giving youth a very special

role in stopping bullying. One way to start an effective "Peer-To-Peer" education program

is through theNational Association of Peer Program Professionals (NAPPP).

Working with Others: Peers, Adults, Communities

Dont forget to include the adults around you as well. Many adults want to be involved in

this movement: teachers, principals, mayors, business leaders, clergy members, community

leaders, industry executives, health professionals, citizens, neighbors, and more. When

you work together with many kinds of people, your message is stronger and louder! When

you have a diverse group of people, you have a diverse set of talents and connections people that know how to do things and know people that can also help. Make sure you make

good use of these valuable resources in your community!

First Step: Understand & Believe Bullying Can Be Prevented.Its up to YOU to start a movement! Bullying is mostly preventable, and teenslike you need to take the leading role in ensuring that bullying doesnt happen in your

school or community. Youve been given great gifts in leadership. Make sure you use

them for the benefit of others! Other teens and your community are counting on

you to make a positive difference by taking a stand against bullying.

Its preventable. Its possible. And its important!

Be The TeacherPut together some great lessons for the younger students in your school. Make sure

to include statistics, videos, and interesting activities that will help the students

really remember your message. You might also want to incorporate the use of

technology like SMART Board activities, PowerPoint presentations, or applications on

the iPad. Younger students love hearing from you, and youve got a great opportunity

to be a positive role model. Make sure to use theStop Bullying Now!materials during

your presentation. Also, include something that the students make or do that theycan share with others (like posters, skits, table tents, videos, etc.). Give them an

o ortunit to show ou what the learned!

PPPrrrooojjjeeeccctttIIIdddeeeaaasss:::GGGeeetttSSStttaaarrrttteeedddNNNOOOWWW!!!Be a leader and empower your peers to create solutions in your school and

community.

Anti-Bullying WeekHost an Anti-Bullying Week at your school! Plan something fun and interesting for

every day of the week. For example, on Monday you could have a contest where

students guess numbers to fill in statistics based on bullying. On Tuesday, you couldhave a special speaker or assembly. On Wednesday, place table tents in the

lunchroom with anti-bullying messages written on them. On Thursday, hold a rally in

the front of school. On Friday, hand out candy with anti-bullying messages attached.

You could also have different departments in your school help with the activities ofthe week. For example, the math department could present bullying statistics and

graphs that they have found and made. The drama department could present a skit.

The social studies department could present current events about bullying.

Make it our own!

Act It OutStudents often remember things that they see. Use your acting abilities to

create, produce, and perform a play or a series of skits that you could show to

students in your school. You could design your performance for elementary,

middle school, or high school students. Make sure to have a discussion time

after the performance, with teachers or older students leading small

discussion. groups.

Anti-Bullying Poster, Art, or Poetry CompetitionsGet the creative juices flowing in your school! Host an anti-bullying creative

arts competition where students create a poster, art piece, or poem that

shares an anti-bullying message. If you want, you could even come up with a

theme to use for the contest, something like Bullying: Not OK or uBully,

iStopit. Make sure to display the creative works and also give out great

prizes! NOYS hosted a logo design contest for BPA

students. Students sent in tons of creative logo ideas,

with the best logos being featured in this toolkit!

School SurveyCreate a survey that students in your school could use. Questions on the surveyshould be related to trouble spots in the school, places where bullying happens

most often. When you get your results, come up with ideas for lowering the

rates of bullying in these trouble spots.


21/34

Policy PracticeShare different scenarios, and then ask your peers if bullying has occurred.

Have them share the reasoning behind their answer. Then have students decide

what consequence should happen for the bully, according to the schools anti-

bullying policy. If the schools anti-bullying policy needs to be improved, workwith your peers to suggest policy changes to the principal.

Create A Video DocumentaryPut your camera skills to the test by creating a film that shares a strong anti-bullying message. You could create your film in one of several genres: silent

film, music video, infomercial, morning talk show, newscast, western, reality

television, and more! Be creative with what you put together, but make sure to

get the message out that bullying is not OK, and it shouldnt happen in your

school. Host a night when you show your films. Submit your videos toTheGreat American NO BULL Challengeto win cash prizes and other fun awards!

Feathers In The WindShow the video titled Feathers in the Wind and have a discussion. Create

paper feathers for students, and have them list positive things about eachother, creating feathers that they wouldnt mind being blown to other people.

Paint For PeaceHave students create a mural showing various situations at school where

bullying takes place. Have them draw cartoon word balloons or thought balloons

showing what the characters would be saying or thinking if they were handling

those situations effectively.

Sign HereCreate a pledge wall in a prominent place in your school. Post a large anti-

bullying pledge in the middle, and then hang markers and pens that teens can

use to sign their name. I.E. The NO BULL Pledge!

Conduct an Interview

Ask students to interview an adult family member or friend about an incidentof bullying that they witnessed or experienced when they were children or

teenagers. Think about these questions: Who was involved the bullying? Who

was there to help? What happened? When and where did it happen? How did

they feel about it? How did they react? How did they wish they had reacted?

Why do they still remember the incident?


23/34

Creative WritingHave students create a short creative writing exercise. Ask them to make up a

short story about a boy or girl their age who saw another child being bullied.

Ask them to describe the characters, the incident, and how the characters

reacted to the bull in . Encoura e them to make their res onses safe.

Swap DayAsk your principal if you can have a swap day with the teachers at your school.

Share with them that you would like to teach the teachers during one of their

professional development times about how you would like bullying dealt with in

the school. You can also share ideas for how teachers can help stop bullying

and information on what is happening in your school.

Freshman Buddy SystemEveryone can use a buddy when they start something new, right? Thats just

what the freshman buddy system is all about. When freshmen enter highschool, they are paired up with an upperclassman. The job of the

upperclassman is to be a mentor to them throughout their freshman year. If

the freshman has a question or concern about anything, they can go to the

upperclassman for help. The upperclassman can also protect the freshman

from bullying and other sources of trouble in high school. Freshmen can also

pair up with other freshmen in a buddy system. They can be a support for

each other during the first, and often very stressful, year of high school.

There are so many great stories of teens who suffered bullying and were able to

positively react to the experience. One of these youth is Zach Veach. Eighth

grade wasnt very kind to Zach. Though he was a racecar driver, at only 80 pounds

and standing just under five feet tall, you might say he was a target for bullies.

Zach would be laughed at, pushed around, and taunted day in and day out. But Zachremained strong and true to who he was and used the bullying as motivation to

progress his racing career. Zach placed first in his race and got a new hat, which

he autographed and gave to those who were bullying him.

Currently a 16-year-old driver for Andretti Autosport, Zach is a great example for

other youth. He uses his unique positioning to be a role model to peers his age,

providing his wisdom and sharing encouragement. He is the author of a book called

99 Things Teens Wish They Knew Before Turning 16in which he writes about the

importance of being yourself, rising above challenges, and pushing toward yourgoals. Do you have teens in your school that you could use as a role model story?

Make sure to include role models in special ways! They could motivate other teens

who are experiencing bullying to rise above their circumstances!

As a child, like most adolescents, I was vulnerable to the influence of others.

Around age 8 or 9, I had an older friend who, for some reason, didn't like a boy in

his class--I believe he was from Holland. One afternoon, on our way home from

school, the boy was walking through an alley close to our neighborhood. My friend

decided to physically bully the boy and I participated. That scenario occurred on

maybe a half dozen occasions. I can only imagine the fear this boy felt; being in a

new country with few friends and finding such hostility being shown against him.

In my twenties, while taking a test for a realtor's license, that same young man

who we bullied took the exam from me I had just completed. I didn't recognize

him, but he recognized me. When he told me who he was I felt sick. I wanted tosay something but for some reason--perhaps shame--I remained silent; just like I

did when we were bullying the boy so many years ago. I have thought of him often

throughout the years...embarrassed by my actions, my inability to do what was

right and stop the aggression.

Some might say, "You were just kids. It doesn't matter."

To that I would say, "Yes, we were kids. And it matters!"

My advice to anyone who would harm another for no apparent reason is old advice:

Treat others the way you would want them to treat you.

The Great American NO BULL Challengeis the first multi-tiered, student-led,

short film/video contest and Red Carpet Awards event and all-star gala

performance that brings awareness to the youth issue of online bullying in

America. The goal of the NO BULL Campaign is to engage America's students,

educators, organization leaders, counselors, organization leaders, mentors and

communities in our nation's efforts to create awareness and reduce the risksassociated with cyberbullying. Students in 6th 12th grade can start an anti-

cyberbullying campaign in their school or community, use video to document

their campaign, and then submit their project to the Challenge website. Once

the video is uploaded, each student will rally for votes by word of mouth, text,

on YouTube and Facebook in order to help get their work selected as one of

the fifteen finalists.Check out the NO BULL website!
