Student Strategies for Bullying

If Someone Else is Being Bullied

• Refuse to join in if you see someone being bullied. Try to resist pressure to join in.

• Attempt to defuse bullying situations when you see them starting up. Try to draw attention away from the targeted person; however, never place yourself at risk.

• If you can do so without risk to your own safety, get a teacher, parent, or other responsible adult to come help immediately.

• Speak up and/or offer support to bullied peers when you witness bullying. If you cannot do this at the time, privately support those being hurt with words of kindness or condolence later.

• Encourage the bullied peer to talk with parents or a trusted adult.
