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.

There are other kids out there that are just like me, but for some reason, they are being mistreated (or worse) because of their differences. That's wrong. Because if those kids are "weird" because they are different in some way, then call me weird too. But I won't care, because I know my friends and family care about me. But those kids need to know that too. So we all need to care. About everyone. About everything. 'Cause when we all truly care, then bullying and hunger and all that stuff will finally be defeated.

Bullying has caused so much unnecessary pain. Children and teens believe they are not good enough, not pretty enough, not smart enough, and so much more. The pain it causes can be irreversible and sometimes it cannot be undone. It can cause depression, suicide, and anxiety. If you see someone being bullied PLEASE say something. Maybe you'll just save a life. Being kind is not all that difficult.

The lives of hundreds are being ravaged by the unseen pain being inflicted by them. Whether intentional or not the words or actions of another greatly effects people. Bullying is a serious matter that has escalated to suicide among many. The pain of many is not to be overlooked.

I care because of the fact that some people have to deal with mean people in their lives on a daily basis.

When I was in JK and SK I was bullied by these girls who thought they were better than me I guess. They would make faces at me as they passed me in the class and would tell the teacher that I did stuff I didn’t do to get me in trouble. Eventually she realised what was happening and told them off, but when she left and another teacher came, they started doing it again. I left the school soon after and I barely remember it anyway after so many years, but it still stays in my heart.
