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 care because I would not want anybody to self-harm. Cyberbullying is a hurtful and very harmful to your self and other people. You should never hurt somebody or call names it can hurt you physical and mental. If you see bullying you should say stop and be nice to the kid.

  • Bullying isn't nice any way you look at it doing it thinks it is fun because they are hurting other people's feelings and that isn't nice. Also the bully thinks that the person that their bulling doesn't have feelings but their wrong trust me I've been in that position when a kid picked on me and I didn't do any thing to hurt him. Another thing is that the person being bullied is the only one on that side and the bullies are mean and just gang up on the victim and hurt their feelings but hopefully they have a friend to help get them out of the sticky situation they are in. So if you are the bully STOP IT NOW that isn't nice your hurting other people and you know it so just stop it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I care because bullying never goes away even when you become an adult. The cycle should be broken as early as possible to stop people from experiencing these traumatic experiences for the rest of their lives.

  • I care because bullying can have many consequences. It can cause depression, anxiety, and more. Therefore, I want to help and prevent this so people won't have to go through this.

  • people don’t deserve to be treated like they do because it really could damage people and lead them to suicidal thoughts and for them to hurt their selves.
