What is Bullying? A Webanywhere Presentation

What Makes Us All Different? The way we look The things we like What we want to do. Where we live. The things we have.

What makes us all the same? We want to have friends. We want to be safe. We want to be happy. We want to feel included. We all think and we all feel.

What If Nothing Was Different? You wouldn’t be able to talk about new things You’d all have the same idea All food would be the same There’s be nothing exciting or new We’d all just be like robots!

Do we think that all being the same would be good?

No! If we were all the same it’d be a much more boring world.

What makes us different is what makes us… Us! By having things that are special about us we stand out in different ways, and that’s what makes us unique. We should celebrate what makes us special, not be nasty about the things that are different in others. If you pick on somebody for something that makes them different, that makes you a BULLY!

What makes something Bullying? Bullying is when you do something that you meant to be nasty. It can include things like: Name Calling Hitting or Kicking Spreading nasty rumours Talking about somebody behind their back Posting an embarrassing video or photo of them online

Why do people bully? 1. They’re angry, and they want to take their anger out on others 2. They’re upset, and want to make someone feel worse to make them feel better. 3. They’re confident, and like using their power to make some people feel small and others big. 4. They’re embarrassed, and want others to be embarrassed too.

What to do if you’re being bullied 1. Tell a teacher or adult you trust, they can and will help. 2. Don’t attack or try to bully the bully back. 3. Ignore any nasty things they say - you know they aren’t true so why worry about them? 4. Play with your friends - if you have a good time away from the bully, you’ll forget all about them.

Remember the golden rule:

Treat others the way you would like to be treated!
