Bullying is defined as any repeated behavior (words, looks, actions, and violence toward another) involving an imbalance of power (bossing) that makes the other person feel uncomfortable or scared. It often manifests itself through excluding or whispering about others. Bullying will not be tolerated and should be reported to the teacher. Tattling is meant to get someone in trouble, while telling helps get someone out of trouble. Telling and reporting are brave and helpful acts.
Physical Bullying:
A student uses physical force to hurt another student by hitting, pushing, shoving, kicking, pinching or holding them down, etc. Physical bullying also includes taking or breaking a students belongings or stealing. http://www.values.com/inspirational-stories-tv-spots/72Locker
Verbal Bullying
When a student uses words to hurt another student. This includes threatening, taunting, intimidating, insulting, sarcasm, name-calling, teasing, slurs, graffiti, put-downs and ridicule. It also includes hostile gestures such as making faces, staring, giving the evil eye, eye rolling, spitting, etc.
Relational Bullying
When students disrupt another students peer relationships through leaving them out, gossiping, whispering and spreading rumors. It includes when students turn their back on another student, giving them the silent treatment, ostracizing we dont like her/him so you cant either, scapegoating (blaming others for your responding action), etc. http://www.values.com/inspirational-stories-tv-spots/66Cafeteria
Cyberbullying
Refers to the use of cell-phones, text messages, e-mails, instant messaging, chats, blogs and social networking sites to bully another student in any of the previously described slides. Examples of cyberbullying are sending threatening or insulting texts, posting untrue information or personal pictures about another student on social networking sites such as MySpace or Facebook, using another students email or IM name to send messages that make the student look bad, creating a web page devoted to putting down another student, forwarding a text or email that was meant for your eyes only, etc. Cyberbullying is on the rise and is as serious a problem in many schools as verbal and relational bullying.
At school, you can report bullying by telling a teacher or administrator privately, or writing down what happened and put it in the counselor envelope.
The Issue
We are supportive of highlighting positive behavior but there are consequences for unacceptable behavior at school and in the real world.

We are not loving you if we do not teach you the life lesson that there are consequences for your actions.

What is bullying?
Bullying is intentional (not an accident) a bully hurts someone on purpose. Bullying is repetitive. This means that the bully hurts someone over and over again, it isnt an incident that happens only once. In general, bullying is where one person acts like they have more power than another, and does whatever they can to hurt that person.
What is a bystander?
A
witness
Think about your school. Where are there areas that you have seen bullying happen or you think are places bullies could operate without being seen. School councillors could write these down. What do you think the school could do to prevent this happening in these places?
