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 about bullying intervention because i know how hard it is to speak up because i'm shy and we need to give other kids the confidence and educate them about how important speaking up is.

If you are being bullied do not take it too far and let it lead to self-harm. Remember it is not your fault and if you are being bullied ignore or do not go near them do not wait until it gets way too bad so do not wait to tell a trusted adult and do not do bullying. there are people you can trust like your teacher, principal, or anybody you trust.

The start of my depression
January 13, 2025
The bullying started on my first day of 6th grade in a new school, some girls decided to corner me in the bathroom. They said that my hair was ugly and tangled and they told me I looked like a guy. That honestly hurt my feelings because I’ve never had anyone talk down on me like that. They picked on me for that whole year and one day I just decided I was over it and I fought back. They haven’t messed with me since but they did cause some serious mental health issues. You aren’t alone.
