- #11 * Bullying/Harrasment * * What is it? * * Aggressive behavior that is intentional and that involves an imbalance of power or strength * It can adversely affect their learning, emotional well-being, further peer relations and their sense of self. * Bullying should not be confused with teasing, rejection, random acts of violence or physicality and conflict. While children will often tease or fight, this bickering should not be confused with bullying. * Bullying is about lack of power as one person is powerless to stop the teasing or physical abuse. Bullying is the selective, uninvited, repetitive oppression of one person by another person or group. * What to do if you see bullying or are being bullied * * * Parents- What can you do? * 1. Listen to their story: * 2. Deal with their feelings: * 3. Get the facts: Get a clear picture of what happens, including who is involved, the frequency and what happens prior to any bullying. * 4. Give them coping skills: * 5. Get the school involved: Bullying is best handled when parents and teachers are involved.

Build their self-confidence * Students * * Find a safe adult, come to Mr. Miller or I or another trusted teacher * If we are unaware we can’t intervene * In summary, bullying isn’t allowed, No one I repeat No one wants to come to school to be picked on, always keep that in mind!
