It is the call of our baptismal covenant to respect the

dignity of every human being, so in preventing and

intervening in bullying we are fulfilling our sacramental
promise to God and to each other.

“Kids get harassed for all kinds of reasons.
They’re too fat. They’re too thin. They’re
too tall. They are too smart. They’re too
dumb. Gays and lesbians are picked on.”
—home economics teacher at ashland high
“Mrs. Podlesny said
that ‘boys will be
boys,’ and that if
Jamie was going to
act so openly gay he had to expect
this stuff to happen to him.”
—mother of a bullied child
 Bullying happens when someone is subjected to
negative actions from one or more people and has
a hard time defending himself or herself.
Bullying takes various forms, including:

• Teasing, taunting or verbal abuse

• Punching, shoving and physical acts
• Spreading rumors
• Excluding someone from a group
• Ganging up on others

In your own words, how would you define bullying?

Cyberbullying is when bullies use the Internet,
mobile phones or other electronic devices.
It can include:
• Sending mean text, e-mail or instant
messages
• Posting damaging pictures or hurtful
messages in blogs or on Web sites
• Spreading rumors or lies about someone,
sometimes using a fake identity
Adapted from the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services
(www.stopbullyingnow.hrsa.gov) and Psychology Today
“I’ve often wondered about the kids who watched [the
bullying] happen—why they didn’t say anything, how
they felt about what was going on?”
—t. c. largaespada social worker at a
youth shelter

A bystander is a person who sees unacceptable

behavior but does nothing to stop it.
What do you think prevents bystanders
from taking action?
• Bullying used to be considered a rite of passage by
many, something harmless that may even serve to
toughen young people and prepare them for life
after school.
Research has led to a very different
understanding
• Bullying can negatively affect children's
performance at school, harm their mental well-
being, and have a lasting impact on their education
and life.
• Recent media coverage has helped
raise awareness about the need to do
more to address bullying, and the
tragic consequences of bullying
 While addressing bullying may seem like a
daunting task, there are simple steps we can all
take to help end name-calling and bullying ,
making a safer environment for our children.
 Naming the problem is crucial in creating an
effective
anti-bullying policy.
• The most effective policies define bullying and
specifically enumerate characteristics most often
targeted, such as a student's perceived or actual
appearance, gender, sexual orientation, gender
expressions, race/ethnicity, economic status, ability,
religion, or any other distinguishing characteristic.
• Policies should also require reporting of bullying, and
staff should be trained on how to intervene, particularly
with bias-based bullying, and support students who are
being bullied or who are bullying others.
Bullying in schools (or any organization entrusted
with the care of children) must be handled head-on,
directly, and without hesitation from staff. We all
hear the remarks made by students, we see the
shoving, pushing, and tripping, and we know why the
students sitting by themselves are crying.

But how many times do these

things lead us to action?

What we all can do

 Some possible warning signs that a child
is being bullied:
• Has unexplained cuts, bruises, and scratches
• Has few, if any, friends with whom he or she
spends time
• Seems afraid of going to school, walking to
and from school, riding the school bus, or
taking part in organized activities with peers
(such as clubs)
• Takes a long, "illogical" route when walking to
or from school or another destination.
 Never tell the child to ignore the
bullying.
 Don't blame the child.
 Listen carefully to what the child is
telling you.
 Learn as much as you can about the
bullying tactics being used.
 Sympathize with the child.
 Do NOT encourage physical retaliation.
 Check your own emotions.
• Keep your emotions in check. Give factual
information about your child's experiences,
including who, what, when, where, and how.
• Emphasize that you want to work with the
organization to find a solution.
• Do not contact the parents of the other child.
• Expect the bullying to stop. Be persistent - talk
with your child and the organization to see if the
bullying
has stopped.
• Keep a record of your conversations.
 If you are being called names or
bullied, remember the four ways to
stay SAFE:
• Say what you feel
• Ask for help
• Find a friend
• Exit the area
