Prevent Bullying

By: Ashlin Bradford, Alyssa Anderson, Jordan Jaggerd

What our Plan is:

Our mission is to help those harassed daily by
bullying, to add strength to those who are weak.
We want to do our best to stop bullying and to
help everyone know how to survive every day
with a smile. It is possible, and with the help of
an army (our community), anything is possible.

What is Bullying?
Bullying is a way an individual uses strength and
intimidation to harass an individual and to force them to do
what they want. Bullying is an aggressive way to do things.
It brings the victims much harm either physically, mentally,
or emotionally. It causes long term damage to both the
victim and the bully. It is a physical attack on a
person because of limitations on their abilities.
