Speak up to the bully, if safe to do so, against the bullying act
Help the victim (i.e. pick up their papers, walk them to class, etc.)
Report the act: talk to a teacher, counselor, administrator immediately. Fill out the Bullying Incident Report Form and return to the CC or main office
Encourage the bullying by watching or cheering
Join in on the bullying
Do nothing/ignore the incident
Make eye contact Tell the person to “stop”, if you feel safe. Ignore the act (even though the hurt feeling is
still there). Bullying is about power. They are trying to take your power from you.
If you are alone, try to stay in a group or with a friend
Don’t let the person see you scared or sad (again, it’s about power and control…keep yours)
Use humor or be funny Be Assertive and have confidence in who you
areReport it always! It’s not snitching!!
