1. FIGHT AGAINST DISCRIMINATION AND RACISM

2. The world is made up of an enormous diversity of people, and being
respectful of those differences is important for getting on with others
throughout your life.
Sometimes we are uncomfortable with people who are different from
us. Sometimes this can lead to bullying.
Sometimes we copy the way people in our family or the community
think about and behave toward others without thinking about why.
People who stand out as different are more likely to be bullied.
Learning about how people who are different from you see the world
helps you behave respectfully.

3. Statistically speaking, those who experience bullying are likely to go on
and bully other people. The very best way to overcome bullying once
and for all is to understand those who bully and the reasons behind why
they do it. By showing compassion towards those who bully, no matter
how hard that might seem at the time, we can truly overcome bullying.
Are you bullying someone?

4. Those who bully are far more likely to
have experienced a stressful or
traumatic situation in the past 5 years
and are more likely to use bullying as a
coping mechanism as a way of dealing
with stress.
People who bully are entitled to help
and support as much as those on the
receiving end of it.

5. The word cyberbullying didn’t exist a decade ago, yet the problem is
pervasive today thanks to the use of social media websites like, Twitter, and
Facebook. Cyberbullying is the repeated use of technology to harass, humiliate
or threaten. Mobile phones may be the most abused medium. Bullies send
threatening or harassing text messages, often involving sex, sexual orientation,
or race.
Cyberbullying

6. Email, websites, and screen names in
chat rooms are masks for electronic
bullies, who can attack without warning
and with alarming persistence. Several
examples of cyberbullying include:
 • Taking humiliating pictures of
another student and sharing them with
others.
 • Verbally abusing another student
through texting.
 • Spreading rumors about a student on
Facebook, Twitter, or MySpace.
 • Sending emails or instant messages
to their victims.

7. Banter can be described as playful teasing
between friends, usually an equal and
generally funny exchange. Whether its at
school, at home between siblings or in the
locker room, there will always be comments
thrown around in jest.
Banter or bullying?

8. How to make sure you are not bullying by mistake
1.Keep it clean
Know your limits, don’t
laugh at someone’s
appearance, their race,
sexuality or disability.

9. 2. If it isn’t funny, don’t laugh
If you have to fake a laugh to brush off
a hurtful comment, you’re only
encouraging more comments. If it goes
too far, let them know.
3. Don’t stand by and let it happen if
someone is clearly not having fun
try not to be a bystander, if someone else
is clearly not enjoying a bit of a banter,
then don’t be afraid to point it out.
Often the person saying the hurtful
comments will stop when they realise
that they don’t have an audience.

10. 4. Don’t pick on something you
know someone is already insecure
about – it’s cheap!
Never pick up on a feature that you know is
a sensitive subject for someone. Laughing
at someone’s appearance when you know
they’re self-conscious is a low blow – talk
about kicking someone when they’re
down!
5.Saying ‘it’s just banter’ or
ending your sentence with ‘it's a
joke’ doesn’t unsay a hurtful
comment
just because you say it’s banter, doesn’t
mean it is. Think before you speak
and ask yourself, would I find this
funny if the tables were turned?
Remember that you can’t put the
toothpaste back in the tube.

11. Taking responsibility for what you've done is the most important first step that you need to
take:
 accept that others don't like the way you behave
 think about how you have not followed the rules about respect and behaviour; think
about why the school has those rules and talk to others about them
 'suck it up' and accept any consequences you have been given by the school and/or your
parents
 get ready to work with your school and/or parents to work things out.
Admitting to bullying or other
inappropriate behaviour is a big thing.

12. WE NEED
TO STOP
BULLYING
