ONE Movement Make_Your

If you stand up for yourself and your peers you can make a change to help stop bullying!

Be Assertive:

Stand Tall

Look the bully in the eyes.

Speak clearly with a strong voice.

Say the bully's name and tell them to stop.

By being assertive you are letting the bully know that their behavior is not acceptable and needs to stop.

If you have tried being assertive and the bully is still continuing to be aggressive or hurtful, than you need to ask an adult you trust for help. A teacher, parent or school volunteer can help you resolve the issue and make sure that you have a safe place to learn and play.

Asking for Help Vs. Tattling

You have a right to be safe and feel safe at school. Asking for help is not tattling.

When you ask for help in a bullying situation you are looking out for your own well being and safety.

By asking for help you can prevent further bullying situations and make your school a better place for all students.

It only takes one movement to create change!

If you are a bully, you can make a choice to stop your behavior and help stop the cycle of bullying in your school.

If you or someone you know is being bullied than be assertive and tell the bully to stop in an assertive way. If being assertive does not stop the bully than ask for help.

You have the power to promote positive change.

It takes a team (teachers, parents and students) to accomplish the goal of a bully free school. But it only takes one person to make the first move.

"Make your Move"

There are different types of bullying: verbal, physical, physiological and cyber.

Bullying is:

*Repeated over a period of time, but can also be a one time occurrence.

*Done on purpose and is premeditated

*The person being bullied is upset and hurt.

*Power is taken away from the person being bullied.

*No effort is made by the bully to solve the problem.

If you or some one you know is being bullied stand up for yourself and others and tell a trusted adult about the situation so they can help.
