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

  • People are always going to make you feel below yourself, sometimes talking to a close friend or a loved one can really make the difference. Every person has someone that cares about them deeply. Bullying is a horrible thing and I wouldn't wish it on anyone and I advise you to stop it if you see it happening because just as easy as it is that person it can be a little relative. For those of you that were bullied i'm so sorry for you and I hope the best for your future.

  • so many people get bullied and instead of telling someone they internalize it and blame themselves for the hate people spew at them. So many people have harmed themselves because of bullies. No one deserves to hurt because they are different.

I was bullied in elementary school
Anonymous

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.
