Essential Question:

How does bullying affect the lives of everyone involved?

Enduring Understanding:

Students will understand that bullying is UNACCEPTABLE behavior that can lead to long term health consequences.

TRUE OR FALSE 

Both girls and boys can be bullies.

Bullies target children who cry, get mad, or easily give in to them. 

There are mainly 3 types of bullying that are the physical, the verbal, and the social one.

Vocabulary

Bullying: It is when one child picks on another child again and again.

Bullying Happens:

At school—in the halls, at lunch, or in the bathroom, when teachers are not there to see what is going on.

When adults are not watching—going to and from school, on the playground, or in the neighborhood.

Through e-mail or instant messaging—rumors are spread or nasty notes are sent.

Bullying is Different from Fighting or Teasing:

A bully has power over another child. 

Bullies try to control other children by scaring them. 

Being picked on over and over can make your child a victim. 

Bullying usually happens when other children are watching.

Learn How to Respond to Bullying

Tell them to stop.  

Walk away. Do not let them get to you. If you walk away or ignore them, they will not get that satisfaction. 

Protect yourself. Sometimes you cannot walk away. If you are being physically hurt, protect yourself so that you can get away. 

Tell an adult you trust. Talking to someone could help you figure out the best ways to deal with the problem.  In some cases, adults need to get involved for the bullying to stop. 

Find a safe place. Go somewhere that you feel safe and secure like the library, a favorite teacher’s classroom, or the office.

Stick together. Stay with a group or individuals that you trust. 

Find opportunities to make new friends. Explore your interests and join school or community activities such as sports, drama, or art. Volunteer or participate in community service.
