TEASING or MAKING JOKES IS it Bullying? BULLYING Someone is being hurt physically, emotionally, social or verbally Someone is being hurt on purpose Only bully is having a good time or laughing, victim is not Unequal balance of power Happens over and over again TEASING or MAKING JOKES Everyone is having fun and laughing No one is getting hurt Everyone is participating equally MEAN MOMENT Someone is being hurt on purpose It is a ONE TIME reaction to a strong feeling or problem CONFLICT No one is having fun There is a possible solution to the problem Equal power with people in conflict There is a specific problem or issue that people don’t agree on

Week of Respect 2017 LETS BE UPSTANDERS AT OUR Wow….what a great story! Did you notice how Ned helped Tar from being bullied? So you see………… It just takes 1 person to make a difference, stand up to a bully by being an UPSTANDER not a bystander…. We can all be UPSTANDERS! That means ALL OF YOU! You are all special, wonderful and unique….you all matter, and you can all help make DLS, a bully free, respectful school. LETS BE UPSTANDERS AT OUR DUAL LANGUAGE SCHOOL!!!!!

Lets talk about some ways you can be an UPSTANDER……… STAND UP, tell the bully to stop, then quickly walk away to an adult. Stay safe…don’t respond physically When you INTERRUPT you help a friend from being bullied and try to help them get away SPEAK OUT, being an upstander lets the bully know that are being mean to others and its not cool TELL SOMEONE, tell an adult right away—talk to or write a letter to a teacher, counselor or staff member you trust

Week of Respect 2017 Let’s BE UPSTANDERS…. ALWAYS Tell and Adult! You are still learning how to deal with this difficult situation and should not deal with this by yourself. Adults can help someone who is being bullied feel better and the adults can work with the bully so they stop hurting you. If you see someone being bullied: if you can, tell the bully to stop. Be a friend to the person being bullied. Tell an adult about what’s going on.

Lets be UPSTANDERS at DLS! The Golden RULE! Treat others how you want to be treated
