Student Action Plan Against Bullying

Ready to take action to address bullying? Maybe not sure how to start? As a student, bullying is something that impacts you, your peers, and your school – whether you’re the target of bullying, a witness, or the person who bullies. Bullying can end, but that won’t happen unless students, parents, and educators work together and take action.

  • I care because what happens will stick and won't ever go away. It never does and it will change a person. They will never be the same.

  • Sometimes people can hurt others and it hurts when it happens to you so I want to try and prevent it as much as I can. Some people will want to hurt you and it has happened to many people and its not just you. There are a lot of things that you can be bullied for and it hurts a lot when it happens.

  • I care because I have previously dealt with some minor bullying. I didn't last too long, but it had a slight impact. So I can sort of relate to what some people go through.

I was bullied in elementary school
Anonymous

When I was in 4th grade I liked this one boy but there were 2 people who would always bully me because of it. They would laugh at me for it. They would go out of their way to make me feel miserable. I finally stood up to them one day and then I reported them to the principal.
