Student Action Plan Against Bullying

Ready to take action to address bullying? Maybe not sure how to start? As a student, bullying is something that impacts you, your peers, and your school – whether you’re the target of bullying, a witness, or the person who bullies. Bullying can end, but that won’t happen unless students, parents, and educators work together and take action.

Tell Us Why You Care

  • I know what it feels to be bullied and It's very tough. I'm still currently being bullied (yes adults can get bullied too). I've been bullied when I was in elementary and high school. I was once weak to accept their words but now I know that they were wrong and everything they've said and done was simply out of their insecurity. Don't feed into their words. People will take the smallest things and manipulate them. This is their way of making you believe in them. People like that makes you feel worthless and weak but the hidden truthful secret is that they're the ones with insecurities and who are very bitter. They're simply angry within themselves. These kind of people are simply taking their anger out on everyone and the reasons why they could be choosing you because they've once seen joy and happiness from within you. They see something that they want. Don't let bullies get the best of you. You won't be in their miserable surroundings for long. Let go and karma will handle. Karma is real and what they're doing to you, they'll pay for it soon. You continue to be a kind person because you are much stronger than what you know. Rise above!

  • People should be able to be treated as equals and see everyone as their equal. I don't want people to feel bad about themselves or be bullied when I can stop that.

  • I care because when you're being bullied you go through many things and those who are going through bullying or have been bullied should not be treated horrible because of those who have problems themselves at home or at school and are bullying people just so they could feel better about themselves should not go through this.

I was bullied in elementary school
Anonymous

When I was in 4th grade I liked this one boy but there were 2 people who would always bully me because of it. They would laugh at me for it. They would go out of their way to make me feel miserable. I finally stood up to them one day and then I reported them to the principal.
