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 people get psychologically affected, big or small. It can cause mental disorders and affect the relationship the victim has with others.

no one deserves to be hurt by anyone. People have said things about me being short and it hurt my feelings. I don't want anyone else to have to deal with being picked on and bullied. I also care because I've seen people be bullied and I don't like that.

It can be detrimental to mental health and lead to mental issues. It can also cause someone to not look forward to things and dread certain situations.

Bullying is an awful thing. I a, a victim of it and it was horrible, getting called mean names such as "Megamind" and (not joking) "Four-eyes". these names may sound like they're joking or just messing with me, but once you're in the situation, you know they aren't. Once you're given that up-and-down bratty look, you know they mean every ounce of what they say. Because I am a victim of this, I am determined to learn more about bullying, why it happens, and why others feel the need to do it.

I care because it spreads negativity and feeds the fire of insecurity. The actions you make affect others and more people need to be mindful of that and actively spread positivity to lift each other up.
