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 care because i don't want anyone to be sad because of bullies and I don't want people that are getting bullied turn into a bully so there will not be a lot of bullies.

  • I too was a victim of bullying during my elementary to middle school years and I believe that no child needs to live in fear of their peers, in fear of going to school because they will be hurt that day, nobody deserves to mistreated for any reason. It needs to stop.

  • Bullying is something that really affects people. It harms people and tells people they're not important in life and no one cares about them. But you can always recover from it. Just because someone calls you a name or makes fun of you doesn't mean you can't stand up for yourself. You can always tell yourself that you're important or go to someone who can help you. Ask a friend or relative who can help you recover from bullying.

I was bullied in elementary school

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.
