1. Working Towards a
Bully-Free Campus:
Take a stand,
Extend a Helping Hand
“Bullying is a widespread and serious
problem that can happen anywhere. It
is not a phase children have to go
through, it is not "just messing
around" and it is not something we
just grow out of. Bullying can cause
serious and lasting harm.”

3. The Golden Rule
“Treat others the way
you want to be treated.”

4. Anti-Bullying Act of 2012
 Section 2. Acts of Bullying
“(a) Any unwanted physical contact between the bully and the victim
like punching, pushing, shoving, kicking, slapping, tickling, headlocks,
objects as weapons;
(b) Any act that causes damage to a victim’s psyche and/or
emotional well-being;
(c) Any slanderous statement or accusation that causes the victim
undue emotional distress like directing foul language or profanity at the
target, name-calling, tormenting and commenting negatively on
victim’s looks, clothes and body; and
(d) Cyber-bullying or any bullying done through the use of technology
or any electronic means.”

5. Bullying Definition
Behavior that is intentional, hurtful and
repeated by one or more persons.
Bullied students are teased, harassed, and
assaulted verbally or physically.

6. Two Types of Bullying
Direct Indirect

7. Direct
Physical –
hitting, kicking, pushi
ng, stealing, hiding or
ruining someone’s
things.
Making someone do
something they don’t
want to do.
Verbal – name
calling, teasing, insulti
ng, threats.

8. Indirect
 Relationship Bullying – gossiping,
spreading rumors and lies about
someone.
 Making someone feel left out or
rejected.
 A true friend will not backstab you.
 A person who backstabs is someone
just wearing a mask of a friend.
 Remember: You do not have to come
home with a bloody nose or head for
it to be considered bullying, words
can break a spirit and torment a
person.

9. Indirect
 Some people spread
rumors as a way to
intimidate others and
gain status or popularity.
 But spreading rumors as
a way to turn people
against someone is a
form of bullying.
 Sadly, when other people
see this kind of thing
going on, they don't
always stand up for
what's right.
 They may become less
friendly to the person who
is being talked about
because they're afraid of
becoming the next
target.
 We don't have to be
good friends with
everyone — or even like
everyone. But not liking
another person doesn't
give someone the right to
spread rumors, gossip, or
putdowns.

10. Bullying can be...
One person
making fun of
another.
One person trying
to beat up another.
A group of people
ganging up against
others.

11. How does it make you feel?

12. Does it have to be a
part of growing up?
No
Each and every
person has the
right to feel
safe in school
and in life.

14. Characteristics of a Bully
Want to be on top by
putting others down
Gain confidence in
numbers (by gossiping and
rumor spreading to make
people side with them)
Envious of the success of
others that is why they put
them down
Insecure deep inside

15. • Engage in backstabbing
instead of talking to the
person directly
• Lack confidence but
pretends to be tough
• Enjoy feelings of power
and control
• Enjoy causing pain
• Lack compassion and
empathy for their targets

23. Don’t Just be a

 Do not just be a bystander. It does
not help.
 Do not be silent to the
INJUSTICE.
 Encourage other bystanders to
help stop the bullying by being
assertive.
 Make friends with someone who
continually gets picked on.
 Report it or send someone to a
trusted adult.
 Please STAND for the bullied.

24. The bully is someone they fear.
Others fear that if they do not side with
the bully then they are the ones who will
be bullied.
They want to “side” with the bully because
it makes them feel strong.
They’re entertained by the bullying.
Peer Pressure

25.  They don’t think speaking up will help.
 They’re afraid that if they say something, the bully will turn
on them.
 Remember: when you are a bystander you are also
being bullied already for you allowed your value
system to be bent – you get to agree on something
you do not believe in and at the same time you
become part of the bullying problem –you allowed
somebody to suffer unduly.

26. Some things you can say if someone is
getting bullied.

28. Ask Yourself These Questions
 Did this person do something bad to me that is why I do
not like him or her or do I like what he or she has that is
why I do not like him or her?
 Does it make you feel better to hurt the person you are
envious of?
 Do you want to be on top at the expense of others that is
why you gossip about them, backstab them and make up
stories about them?
 Do you sometimes use your size and strength to get your
way?
 Do you influence your friends to gossip and make
somebody feel inferior and left out?
 Do you exclude others in your group for no valid reason
and deliberately make them feel left out?

29.  Have you been bullied by someone in
the past and feel like you have to make
up for doing the same thing to others?
 Do you avoid thinking about how
other people might feel if you say or
do hurtful things to them?
Ask Yourself These Questions

31. If you are a bully, here
are some ways to stop
Apologize to people
that you have
bullied, and follow it
up by being friendly.
They might not trust
you right away, but
eventually they will
see that you have
changed.

32. More ways
 If you are having a hard time feeling
good about yourself, explore ways to
boost your self-esteem.
(Do not compare yourself with others.
Life is not a competition. Embrace and
accept yourself for who you are.
 Stop being jealous of others. Stop
counting someone else’s blessings just
be grateful and be appreciative of what
you have.
 If you feel like you’re having
trouble controlling your feelings,
especially anger, talk to a school
counselor about it.

33. REMEMBER:
 FOR THE BULLIED: You are not the one with the problem.
The bully is the one.
 Treat others the way you want to be treated. Stand up
for someone when he or she needs it, and when you need
it, someone will stand up for you.
 A true friend is happy for your success and will not pull you
down for him or her to feel better about himself/herself.
 If the bully can do that to another person who is of no
fault, then you can also be his or her next victim. So be
PROACTIVE.

34. REMEMBER:
 If someone backstabs a classmate, beware
of that person since he or she could also do
that to you!
 Do not let the bully stop you from being
yourself. Keep doing what you love to do.
