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 bullying takes a major toll on people. It makes them sad and it even makes them hate school because that's where they're being bullied or another place because that is where they have been bullied. It makes them feel like a nobody. Instead of being mean we should lift each other up and help one another.

I care because bullying makes people feel bad every day, and they don't deserve to feel that way. Many people take bullying way too far, and the victims then might try and hurt themselves.

I care about this because no one should have to go through someone picking on them for their insecurities, family, or style. Everyone is a different person and special in their own way. We are all humans and we all deserve to be happy and live our lives. I also care for the bullies because a lot of the time bullying is reflected based off of their home life. I believe everyone should have a place where they are comfortable or happy to go to, be school, home, your friends house. We all need a little peace.

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.
