Anti-Bullying
Anti-Bullying is a collective effort to prevent and stop bullying. Bullying is a widespread and serious issue 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 to grow out of. Bullying can cause serious and lasting harm.
Definition[edit | edit source]
Bullying is an aggressive behavior that involves unwanted, negative actions. Bullying involves a pattern of behavior repeated over time and involves an imbalance of power or strength.
Types of Bullying[edit | edit source]
Bullying can take many forms such as physical, verbal, and social. Cyberbullying is also a type of bullying that happens online or through text messages or emails. It includes posting rumors on sites like Facebook, sharing embarrassing pictures or videos, and making fake profiles or websites.
Effects of Bullying[edit | edit source]
Victims of bullying may experience many negative effects such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, health problems, poor grades, and suicidal thoughts. In addition, the negative effects of bullying can also affect the bully and the bystanders.
Prevention and Intervention[edit | edit source]
Anti-Bullying programs are designed to teach students, parents, and educators how to prevent and respond to bullying. These programs provide information about bullying, discuss the roles of bullies, victims, and bystanders, and provide strategies to respond to bullying.
