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.

Tell Us Why You Care

  • I have seen the effects of bullying that have followed a few of my friends into adulthood. No one should have to deal with these negative memories that clearly still have an effect on their lives 30 years later. I hope more people can promote change!

  • I have been bullied before and i can make a difference that people shouldn't bully other people. I get bullied by a lot of people and some affect me personally and emotionally people affect my height and weakness and lack of smartness. I have been bullied since third grade and even today i want to make a stop to this. The reason why i haven't told on them they threaten me if i did. So that's way i did not tell on them because i am scared of them hurting me again.

  • I care because I care about me and my friends, family, and people i feel close to. And if I put myself in that position it would be very hard for whoever is being bullied.

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.
