Is bullying worse now than it used to be?

01/10/2014

I am 11 years old and my name is Sheridan and I don't believe in bullying. I want to tell children that they are important and they matter. My organization tells kids that they are beautiful and your physical appearance doesn't matter it only matters how you treat people. The reason I started this organization because I got tired of people talking about it and not doing anything about it. I am a girl who doesn't like her physical appearance but I now look in the mirror and see a beautiful girl. That is what I want kids who are bullied see that. I am Sheridan and I am B.A.S.S. SO TURN UP THE BASS, TURN UP YOUR VOICE!!!

Felicia Garcia, a 15-year old teenage girl from Staten Island, New York, recently jumped in front of an oncoming train as classmates looked on from the platform in shock.

Thanks Ms. Mitra

The Bystander
• A passive participant
• Empowers the bully by providing an audience
• May actively encourage the bully and become a passive bully themselves
• Tolerates injustice and inadvertently promotes it by saying and doing nothing
• Avoids becoming a target themselves

Thank you Ms. Mitra

Tips to teach the bullied child:
• Practice assertive body posture
• Ignore the bully and walk away
• If it feels safe, look the bully in the eye and say something like, “I want you to stop.”
• Tell an adult – telling is not the same as tattling
• Use the buddy system – there’s safety in numbers
• Develop more friendships by joining social organizations, clubs, or sports programs

The Bully:
• Typically targets those who are different and who they think won’t fight back
• Is intolerant of differences
• May have a sense of entitlement
• May have low self-esteem, but can outwardly appear extremely self-confident
• May have been bullied themselves by peers or family
• Bullies come in all shapes and sizes
• Both boys & girls can engage in all types of bullying. Boys use physical bullying more often than girls. Girls use emotional bullying (exclusion, spreading rumors, etc.) more often than boys
• Bullies can be popular or disliked by almost everyone
• Without intervention, bullies may become more violent and commit serious crimes, as they get older
