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 i have to when people are mean

I care about bullying because it is not fair. Innocent people are bullied everyday because of what they look like or believe in. The people being bullied are harmless kids that don't deserve this. Preventing bullying can slowly end this terrible act. I try to stop bullying whenever I see it.

I care about bullying because the people that are getting bullied don't deserve that. They don't deserve the hurtful things that people are saying and doing to them. I know how it feels and it does not feel the best. Sometimes when people say and do hurtful things it makes people want to do things to themselves. And once those people do things to themselves then it's a domino effect, it hurts other people and nobody wants that.

I care because I’ve been bullied, it’s not fun. The saying Sticks and Stones may break my bones, but Words will never hurt me, is the biggest lie I have ever heard. Verbal Bullying is just as equally bad as Physical Bullying. To everyone who is being bullied, I have you in my prayers.

Our world will be so much different if we just be kind to one another. Treat everyone as equal, don’t judge anyone, and don’t bully because your not going to get anything out of it. You would just get punished at the end of it. I would say keep your mean thoughts to yourself and just be kind.

When I was in JK and SK I was bullied by these girls who thought they were better than me I guess. They would make faces at me as they passed me in the class and would tell the teacher that I did stuff I didn’t do to get me in trouble. Eventually she realised what was happening and told them off, but when she left and another teacher came, they started doing it again. I left the school soon after and I barely remember it anyway after so many years, but it still stays in my heart.
