Two actors, Hannah and David, presented a show on bullying. This was a serious show with a serious message. Here are some of the main points.To define bullying, actions need to be hurtful, purposeful, and repeated.
Bullying can come in many forms: physical, verbal, exclusion, cyber bullying...
What to do if you think you are being bullied:
Decide if the bullying is hurtful, purposeful and repeated
Approach the bully and tell them how you feel - "It really hurts when you say things like that and I'd like you to stop."
Report the bullying to a teacher or an adult
Find out what the teacher (or adult) is going to do about it and when they're going to do it.
A bystander, is also a bully. There are three types of bullying bystanders:
watcher - someone who watches others get bullied but when asked about it, claim they have seen nothing
ignorer - someone who knows others are being bullied but does nothing about it - ignores it
cheerer - someone who cheers bullies on, encourages them to bully more
BREAK THE CYCLE
You have THE POWER OF ONE.
Step up and stop bullying.
Children then read The Power of One oath
I will not bully others
I will not stand by while others are being bullied
I will report and deal with bullying whenever I see it
Because I have
The Power of One
