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 bullying is always a horrible thing to do. People will bully people for fun and have no idea how it affects other people. People can get anxiety and depression from bullying and I would know from past experiences. It is okay to not like someone but you don’t have to bully people into maybe even moving schools.

  • I care because no one deserves to be treated as if they are lower or did something wrong.



    Katelyn — 14
  • bully can cause a lot of mental damage on the person that is bullied.



    Lucas — 12
  • I care because I stand up for whoever gets bullied because its wrong to hurt people, everyone matters no matter what. People think its a joke but that's hurtful to hurt people. EVERYONE MATTERS!




  • I care because in past years I was bullied myself and I wanted to commit harm to myself. I do not want any other people to go through the same thing that I once went through. I want people to be able to go to school and be able to not spend the entire day worried that they will be harmed or abused and when they get home they can go on their favorite website and know no one will abuse them there either.

  • People should care about bullying because it affects people and hurts their feelings.
