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 everyone matters. Bullying is never the right thing to do. Everyone is different, and that's what makes us who we are, and you should not be bullied for that.

I care because bullying is not cute nice or cool and bullying could cause people to be depressed and cause them to self harm and end up having really bad panic attacks and anxiety.

because it hurts people's feelings and makes them feel bad about themselves. not something you should do to others. we should build each other up not down.

When I was little it has also happen to me for 4 years as well as cyber bullying even if they didn't really hurt me physically that didn't mean they did not damage me mentally and up until now I feel like I have finally let go but that doesn't mean that I will forget what they said to me.

bullying can change the way people act or dress to try to impress others or blend in with others. bullying can reduce friendship, or even make you a fool in public. bullying is bad.

Me and my friends are all bisexual or homosexuals. Because of this we have realized how many people are very homophobic and bully kids because of it. Even adults bully kids who are not straight. We want to bring awareness that bullying not only exists as cyber bullying, physical bullying, mental bullying, emotional bullying, it also exists as homophobia.
