When we talk about bullying we need to respect each other’s feelings and privacy.
It is NOT okay to criticize what other people say or do as we talk about bullying.
Let’s handle this discussion maturely.
Wisconsin State Statute 118: “Truant” means a pupil who is absent from school
without an acceptable excuse for part or all of any day on which school is held.
You are considered truant when:◦ You are tardy for class or are not in your assigned
location◦ You do not come to school and do not have an
acceptable reason. If you are truant:
◦ You could receive a citation from law enforcement◦ You could be referred to Juvenile Intake and be
assigned a social worker.
GET TO CLASS!!

The Effects of Bullying
A person is being bullied or victimized when
he or she is exposed repeatedly and over
time, to negative actions on the part of
one or more persons.
(Olweus, 1991)
Bullying is a very serious social and legal problem. All schools must take steps to stop it from happening.
By learning about bullying, we are creating a healthier school environment for everyone.
Studies show that bullies are more likely to be incarcerated as adults, more likely to have drug/alcohol abuse, and more abusive relationships

People who ask for help with bullies are standing up or their right not to be bullied and to have a safe school.
Getting teased, picked on, pushed around, threatened, harassed, insulted, hurt, and abused is not normal!
An act of reprisal or getting back at a person for an act he/she has committed.
Whatever you do not retaliate
*Most effective: Seeking encouragement, advice, and protection from friends and adults:- Telling an adult at school (38% said this made things better);- Telling an adult at home (37% better);- Telling a friend (36% better)
*What was least effective: Trying to handle it yourself
remember times when they have been bullied in middle school. ASK THEM!
