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 IT HURTS YOUR SELF, YOU GIVE UP

I was bullied for 3 years. at first it was name calling and then it went to being physical. I did a wrong choice of hiding it from my mom. also my mistake was that i thought it was my fault. my friends tried to help but it turned on them and then they turned to me as well and then finally my mom had gotten enough of it and moved schools. the staff at school was not helping they made it sound like it was my fault.

Bullying can harm someone's life, they could have psychological harm.

Everyday, I see a student bullied in my school, even if it's just verbally. Most people think verbal bullying isn't as important as physically but saying mean things to make people feel bad about themselves can ruin their self-esteem, becoming depressed and hurt them emotionally.

it seriously affects people's mental health. it can cause self-harm which isn't safe. it is cruel and unfair to others.

I care because bullies are mean to people and I know why because maybe their friends do it to impress their friends and all they need is a friend so I care about people also maybe they need a friend to help them to never get bully again. So I care about people.

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.
