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 no one deserves to be bullied. Bullying can change someones life. So instead of being known as the person who bullies be known as the person who stopped bullying.
    -C.M

  • I care because we need to stand up for each other and make sure we take care of others and keep people from getting mentally and/or physically hurt by other people who are rude and disrespectful. People need to realize that words do matter and actions matter too and they can really hurt someone.



    Jacob — 15
  • I want everyone to be good to each other.



    Heather —
  • I CARE BECAUSE I GET BULLIED AND NO SHOULD BE BULLY BC ITS REALLY NOT COOL AND NOT NICE SO STOP BULLYING



    Lucy —
  • Bullying is traumatic for the victim, witness and also the bully. Its negative effects in terms of mental health to those who undergone bullying linger. As a result bullying is a societal problem coming from individual level. I'm writing this because I'm in a club kind of course that teaches important facts about genocide and how can we stop them. And we also talked about how the happening of genocide is a series of progressions of violence starting from individual, local level such as bullying or other acts of violence because of prejudices, to systemic extermination of an entire race. We are powerless when hatred manifests itself in forms of genocide or war, but we CAN and SHOULD be upstanders when bullying happens and do some good to society and humanity.

  • Cyberbullying is mean because you hurt people's feelings and it is just not kind.

Disabled bullying
Anonymous

Ever since I could remember I would always get looked down upon because of my disability. I knew for a fact it wasn’t my fault but the words that the children spoke of me at school really hurt my heart and destroyed my self-esteem. I spoke with my parents about this and then they reported the issue to the school’s president. The kids stopped saying harmful words to me and I managed to gain my confidence to go back to school and achieve my goal of one day being successful.
