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've been bullied, and straight up, it sucks. It is traumatizing no matter the amount of times, no matter the limit. I care because how can we want a better world, when things like this are still happening?

  • Bullying is a sign that some people are jealous of other people in life, they might be bullied too in their past life. I have also been bullied when I was 8-12. But you can’t always give up on everyone and everything u love.

  • I care because if someone is being bullied and they may not say anything about the bullying happening they may get hurt even more than they already are by the bully and if I see the bullying happening I would probably take up for the kid who is being bullied and being made fun of. bullies only do this stuff to make themselves feel better about what they did and usually the bullies have low self-esteem and maybe they do these things because they are jealous of the kid they are making fun I think that this would make the bullies parents look bad by not raising their kids right by like not having no manners for themself and not having any respect to anyone

  • I care because bullying can affect people in ways that can be emotionally and physically harming, and one should not be the cause of a ongoing circle.
