game

making up stories or saying things that are not true

part in bullying online

– “Happy Slapping”
• this is when you use a phone or a video camera and film someone
being slapped or attacked unknowingly
– Silent or abusive phone calls

7. How does the person being BULLIED feel?
The person being bullied feels that he or she
can do nothing to stop it because:
• He or she might feel smaller or weaker than the bully.
• He or she might feel outnumbered by the bully and the
bully's friends.
• He or she often feels very sad, but does not know how to
change the situation.
• He or she might feel there is no help:
– No one to talk to.
– No one is standing up for him or her.
Bullies can be BOYS or GIRLS!!!

8. Who do BULLIES pick on?
• Often, bullies are bigger kids, so they pick
on:
Kids they feel are smaller
Kids they think won't stand up to them
Kids that have few friends to stand up for them
• Almost everyone will be affected by bullying
during their life
 This can be as a child or young person
 It can happen as an adult in work
 It can even be an elderly person in the community

9. Why do BULLIES do what they do?
– Sometimes they think that they will win or get
what they want.
– Sometimes they want to impress or entertain
their friends.
– Sometimes they enjoy feeling power over
someone because sometimes they are being
bullied by someone else!
– Sometimes they do not even realize that they
are hurting the other person.
REMEMBER you should never have to say, “I was only messin’ wit ya” they
should already know!

10. Are you a BULLY?
• Do You Ever …
 Make fun of others to get other people to laugh?
 Physically hurt someone?
• Hitting people is assault and is a criminal offence
• Do not think that hitting people makes you look hard or clever
• Talking through problems takes more courage and shows you are growing up
 Damaged or taken other people’s things.
• If you take things from people this is stealing and also against the law.
 Ignore people, or leave them out of things you and you friends do?
• If you see this going on, be the better person and ask him or her would they
like to sit with you or play
• If your answer to these questions is YES then you are a BULLY.

“Would I want someone else to do these things to me? “
If the answer is NO, then STOP and APOLOGISE for what
you have done and do not do it anymore.
