WHAT IS BULLYING

Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time

Types of bullying1) Verbal 4) Threats2) Social 5) Rumors3) Physical 6) Humiliating

CYBERBULLYING Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place using

electronic technology. In many ways, cyber bullying can worse. More harmful, and harder to stop than

traditional bullying. It can happen during or outside of school

hours, and it is less visible to school officials. Images and messages can be quickly

distributed by cyber bullies to a wider audience.

Additionally, cyber bullying can often be perpetrated by an anonymous offender, making it difficult to pinpoint the origin and stop it.

Examples: mean text messages or emails rumors sent by email or posted on social

networking sites embarrassing pictures, videos, websites, or

fake profiles www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tySu8M3ldI

Ways to help: Be assertive/use your

voice Don’t ignore your natural

instincts Hold each other

accountable Adults model positive cell

phone behavior. Monitor cell phone usage

RELATIONSHIPSHEALTHY VS UNHEALTHY

A relationship could be between the following: Parents Siblings Friends Friends’ Parents Grandma/Grandpa Teachers

HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPSSigns of a Healthy Relationship

Respect You ask each other what you want to do. No one tries to control the other person

Common Interests You enjoy doing things together, but no one feels forced to do anything. If you do have a disagreement-and its OK to disagree-you both get to say

what you want, talk until you’re happy, and then go out and enjoy what you’ve planned.

Being with each other or Being apart You enjoy each other’s company and feel happy when your together You each feel free enough to have your own friends and interests outside the

relationship.

**Relationships are supposed to make both people feel happy. People should feel good about what happens when they are together**

TEEN EQUALITY WHEEL

UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS

Signs of an unhealthy relationship

Lack of respect You “go along” with something even if you think it is not right. You feel bad about what

happens when you are together Being held back

Your partner/friend does not let you succeed in school, or you are made to feel guilty about doing things that interest you.

Trying to change the other person’s behavior One of you tells the other, “My way or no way”

**When you can talk about a problem, an unhealthy relationship can become a healthy one. But, if you can’t find ways to enjoy the time that you spend together, it may mean that it is time to end the relationship**

POWER AND CONTROL WHEEL

RESPECT

What is respect? What is consent?

Consent is asking permission from another person What does consent looks like?

Communicating effectively Being open about your thoughts and feelings about what you do and don’t want
