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 I don't make people feel bad. I try to make them feel good. When I see someone bullying I try to do something but its hard for me because I have been bullied before because I tried to stand up to a boy or a girl and when I do that they think that I like them or something which isn't true and it's really annoying. I get made fun of for what I want to watch and my book choice and when I try to blend in It's hard because I don't like any of it. I care because I don't like seeing people having a hard time I know I have the power to stop bullying and have the power to help but I get really uncomfortable because I know that they might bully me for standing up or interfering with them.

I care about stopping bullying because people that are bullying other people or students it might hurt them or maybe we just don't know what is going on with their life and they just don't want to have their feelings so they wanted to bully others.

When adults respond quickly and consistently to bullying behavior they send the message that it is not acceptable. Research shows this can stop bullying .

When I grow up I want to be know for being a hero. NOT a lame person, like a villain or something. Also because I don't want my friends to get bullied.

I was bullied in elementary school
April 9, 2024
When I was in 4th grade I liked this one boy but there were 2 people who would always bully me because of it. They would laugh at me for it. They would go out of their way to make me feel miserable. I finally stood up to them one day and then I reported them to the principal.
