Essential Question:
How does bullying affect the lives of everyone
involved?
Enduring Understanding:
Students will understand that bullying is
UNACCEPTABLE behavior that can lead to long
term health consequences.
TRUE OR FALSE
Both girls and boys can be bullies.
Bullies target children who cry, get
mad, or easily give in to them.
There are mainly 3 types of bullying
that are the physical, the verbal, and
the social one.
Vocabulary
Bullying: It is when one child picks on another child
again and again.
Bullying Happens:
At school—in the halls, at lunch, or in the
bathroom, when teachers are not there to see
what is going on.
When adults are not watching—going to and
from school, on the playground, or in the
neighborhood.
Through e-mail or instant messaging—rumors
are spread or nasty notes are sent.
Bullying is Different from Fighting or Teasing:
A bully has power over another child.
Bullies try to control other children by scaring
them.
Being picked on over and over can make your
child a victim.
Bullying usually happens when other children are
watching.
Learn How to Respond to Bullying
Tell them to stop.
Walk away. Do not let them get to you. If you walk away or ignore them, they will not
get that satisfaction.
Protect yourself. Sometimes you cannot walk away. If you are being physically hurt,
protect yourself so that you can get away.
Tell an adult you trust. Talking to someone could help you figure out the best ways
to deal with the problem. In some cases, adults need to get involved for the bullying to
stop.
Find a safe place. Go somewhere that you feel safe and secure like the library, a
favorite teacher’s classroom, or the office.
Stick together. Stay with a group or individuals that you trust.
Find opportunities to make new friends. Explore your interests and join school
or community activities such as sports, drama, or art. Volunteer or participate in
community service.
