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 never been bullied before, and I am lucky that I haven't. By the looks of what bullying can do, it seems like it sucks to be bullied. I would suggest talking to someone if you really have to or get a counselor to help you through these tough times. But all you need to know is that it will get better.

I care because innocent people are bullied. Bullying can hurt a person’s life and the victim feels insecure about themselves. Bullying can negatively impact academic achievement.

I care about bullying because it can lead to suicide or trauma. Also bullying in general can cause people to feel bad about themselves and insecure.

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.
