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

  • Bullying is never the right thing to do! Bullying causes damage to people and can really affect their mental wellbeing. People who are bullied can go through depression and physical pain.

  • I care because bullying is a horrible thing and it is still going on the world today especially the generation were in today. every single day kids and teenagers are either physically bullied, verbally bullied, or cyber bullied and a lot of teenagers harm themselves due to getting bullied. and it's sad and some of the people who get bullied don't get the help or support they need. I honestly think when people witness bullying or know someone who is getting bullied they should either tell an adult or stick up for the person who is getting bullied because just imagine that was them getting bullied they would want someone to tell an adult or have someone help them and stick up for them. As long you know you didn't do anything don't let the bullies bring you down your stronger than them and have a bigger heart.
