GENERAL DISCUSSIONHow effective do you think you are
in addressing a bullying situation?
Why do you think that students may not come to teachers in a bullying situation?
QUESTIONS ASKED TO STUDENTSThe Beyond the Hurt group surveyed about
400 students on 3 main questions:1.How often would you say that you report
bullying when you see it at school?2.How comfortable are you about talking to
a teacher about bullying?3.Why do you think students are sometimes
uncomfortable about reporting bullying incidents to teachers?
STATISTICS Our Survey Found That….. 62% of students said that they
reported bullying sometimes or very little (as opposed to most of the time).
78% said that they were either somewhat comfortable, not very comfortable or very uncomfortable when talking to teachers about a bullying situation.
SOME THINGS STUDENTS SAID“They don’t want to be un-popular”“Because they’re embarrassed, or seem like a tattle-
tale and the bully will find out and keep doing it!”“The bully might hurt them even more if they tell.”“I might get in trouble with the bully or teacher.”“I might get suspended.”“I am afraid of getting involved.”“I reported bullying to a teacher and nothing was
done.”
WAYS TO HELP (INSTEAD OF DETENTIONS): Contact parents to let them know about the situation. Loss of privileges for the bully (downtown, dances, etc.) Go to students first (if you suspect they may be getting
bullied) instead of students coming to you first. They often will feel more comfortable this way.
Make sure kids are told that “I’m just joking” is not acceptable.
Reassure the student that we have all been a victim, bystander and a bully and let them know you have been in their situation before!
Idea of bully/victim workshops for repeat offenders.

WOULD THIS EVER HAPPEN AT OUR SCHOOL?WHY?
WHY NOT?
FINAL THOUGHTS?Do any of you have any final
thoughts?Do you have any suggestions on
how the BTH group can also make it easier for teachers, in terms of us getting our student body to be more comfortable with the reporting of bullying?
