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 am against bullying because I don't think people should be mistreated. I think people should all be treated the same because I also think people should treat people the way they want to be treated. Being nice is always better than being mean, you should always think before you say or do something. You may say something then act like the person that you said the mean thing to seems perfectly fine, but you never know inside they may be depressed and sad. Always think before you say is great for kids to learn because what if they ended up in that situation and started to feel how the victim felt.

I care because nobody should be made fun of . Also the victims of bullying should know that there are people who love them but they don't recognize that. Some things are things that people can't change about themself so don't make somebody regret about something they have to live with.

Bullying is not right because it can lead to gun violence and harming people. They can feel bad about themselves.

Bullying can do really bad harm to someone, physically, mentally, and emotionally. I've been bullied before when I was really young, I became scared to go back to that place every morning. It wasn't school but it might as well have been. The physical bullying is surprising, you don't think that people would take it that far. All I have to say is, if it gets physical, don't fight back, you
'll probably get in trouble too. Try to make fighting a last resort, and if you are a bully... get a therapist.
