What to do?
● Bullying is a serious issue that can have negative effects on a victim's mental and physical health. There are several ways
to stop bullying:
● Creating a positive school or community culture: Support kindness and respect as values that are modeled by all
members of the community. This can be done by posters, and public events.
● Educating students, teachers, and parents about bullying: Give information on what bullying is, how to recognize it, and
what steps to take is anybody is bullied. We can organize workshops, training sessions, or seminars.
● Encouraging: Encourage students to speak up if they witness bullying, and provide them with strategies for doing so
safely and effectively. We can give them a script to follow, or practice with them in role-play scenarios.
● Put clear consequences for bullying behavior: Make it clear that bullying will not be tolerated, and put clear
consequences for those who do it. This can be suspension from school.
● Providing support for victims: Offer counseling or other forms of support for victims of bullying, and make that they feel
safe and supported at school.
