BULLY-PROOFING

Our Classroom

BULLY-PROOFING Everyone’s been trained. We want to

keep you safe. There is strength in numbers

If a bully is trying to be popular, then having most of the class say, “I don’t like what you’re doing” will stop them from achieving their goal.

It is difficult for the bully to target a victim if we stick together and no one is left out.

TELLING VS. TATTLING It’s not tattling:

When you help someone who is in danger, who is being hurt physically or emotionality, by speaking out.

The goal is to get help; not to get someone in trouble.

Mrs. Torres. I need help.
