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 care because it can really hurt someone's feelings, and make them sad (and make them feel wilted).

  • no cool because its just making your parents look bad, you're always a reflection of your mom and your dad when you walk outta the house. If you bully, people are gonna see you as the "crazy kid," "pathetic parent kid" "loser." That's what people are going to see you as when you do stuff. Always be your best and cause as little fuss as you can because some people are pretty weird and they will spy on you. If you bully and some dude was watching you, he will think that your parents didn't raise you well and he will post it on some social media thing. When you bully, it always comes back to you.

  • I Care Because people think that they are better than others but really they're not good at all they are just trying to make others feel bad, and that's why we need good people in the world to stand up to bullies.

  • Bullying is never ok.

  • Bullying can mess up someone mentally and physically. Make them feel like they're not supposed to be here. Make them feel like they need to take hurt themselves. I care a lot about bullying because it's wrong and it's not what someone deserves .

  • I care about bullying because it can hurt people's feelings and bullying can put others in a bad place in life. Bullying can make people change and make them change how they are as a person.
