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 we are all human, so we have to act like it. If you're a bully, in my books you're a monster. The bible says all humans are equal, no one is better than another. Rich or poor, famous or unknown, "normal" or different... it doesn't matter.

I care because even though, thankfully, I haven't been bullied, it's important to feel for the kids out there that are going through this and try to take action against it. No kid should have to go through something like this.

I care because I want people to respond to when someone is bullied. i have been bullied myself and have seen people and even my friends walk by and do nothing. i don't want that to happen anymore and let people have the corurage to respond.

I care because bullying can cause a lot of mental health problems that can lead to self-harm. They'll say they wish there were signs about it but most of the time there are signs but people choose to ignore them. and then when the person who is being bullied tries to speak up about it most people will laugh, tell them to grow up or get thicker skin or to tell a teacher, most people do not understand how hard it is for victims of bullying to stand up for themselves because of fear of what the bullies might do so they'd rather stay quiet and that's not healthy because it'll lead to massive problems for the victim.

Bullying is a serious thing and I feel like no one should have to go through that. So I care for those that have been through bullying and I just wanted those victims to know that we all care.

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.
