27. On the second day of eighth grade, a girl in Emily's class shoved her into the road. Thinking she was playing, Emily shoved her back. Rumors began circulating within the school and Emily gained a reputation. The girl was part of a group of girls who continued to spread rumors about Emily; they also began stalking her in the playground. Some of the teachers, believing the rumors about Emily, accused her of bullying the other girl, and cautioned her parents about her behavior. Roughly once every 2 weeks Emily's parents would meet with the principal to try to convince him that Emily was the victim. No one in authority admitted that bullying existed at the school. Nothing was done. For 3 years, the bullying continued with silent phone calls, threats, and occasional physical incidents. Each time, after Emily or her parents complained, the teachers would glare at her in the hallway. After the bully graduated, the rest of the group of girls continued the bullying. Once when they cornered Emily against the wall, a teacher approached them and threatened Emily with further punishment if she continued her behavior. The teacher then sent the other girls back to the playground.

34. Distraction : If you are with a friend who begins to hurtfully tease someone else, quickly distract your friend by changing the subject or asking him a question. You would be keeping your friend out of trouble, but more importantly, helping the person who is being hurtfully teased or bullied. Distracting the person who is being hurtfully teased or bullied works as well. Support the target/victim privately : If you could not get the person or persons to stop the hurtful teasing or bullying behavior, for whatever reason, go back to the target/victim of the behavior and support them privately. You could say “I am sorry for what my friend said, or those other kids said, and I will talk to them about it to see if I can get the bullying behavior to stop.”

35.  Support the person openly : We only recommend this strategy to kids who feel confident or have a certain amount of respect among their peers.  Do not feed into the behavior. Don’t laugh at their jokes if they are humiliating someone, and do not promote or attend a fight. As bystanders, it is our responsibility to de-escalate the situation, not feed fuel to an already hot fire.  Telling an adult. Tell an adult that will listen and who is willing to take a report that someone is being hurtfully teased or bullied.

37.  Apologize to people that you have bullied, and follow it up by being friendly.  They might not trust you right away, but eventually they will see that you have changed.

38. More ways to stop  If you are having a hard time feeling good about yourself, explore ways to boost your self-esteem.  If you feel like you’re having trouble controlling your feelings, especially anger, talk to a school counselor about it.
