5- Bullying happens at

school sometimes. Bullying happens when the bully

uses their power to hurt or embarrass another student. Bullying is different

than teasing because bullying happens more often, and is meant to hurt the

victim's feelings. A victim is the person who is bullied. Sometimes there is a

bystander. A bystander is a person who watches the bullying happen. The victim

and the bystander should tell an adult if they see bullying. Bystanders should

try to create a friendship with a victim. A friendship is a close, friendly

relationship between two people. Adults can help create a safe space and peace

in school. A safe place is where students feel safe from bullying. Peace

happens when there isn't annoyance or harassment toward students.

Online Attack

Written

by Kelly Hashway

Veronica logged onto her Facebook wall and checked

her messages. Her last post was a joke she made about why pigs like to roll

around in mud. Most of her friends replied with smiley faces or LOLs, but the

last comment made Veronica’s mouth drop. Millie Andrews posted, “Veronica is

an ugly pig.”

Veronica closed her browser window and walked away from the computer.

She didn’t know how many people from school had seen Millie’s comment or why

Millie would say something so mean. She barely slept wondering what she was

going to do.

The next morning, Veronica walked into school with her head down. She

felt like everyone was looking at her, and whenever she heard laughter, she

feared it was directed at her. Veronica ran to the girls’ bathroom with tears

in her eyes. She went into an empty stall. “What am I going to do?” she asked

herself.

a. Highlight the words

that describe how Veronica felt after she saw the Facebook comment from Millie.

upset, happy, angry, frustrated, relaxed, embarrassed,

humiliated, pleased, confident, confused, respected, mad

b. If you were

Veronica's friend, and you saw this Facebook post, what would you say to

Veronica?

c. Who could Veronica

talk to about this problem?

d. What should

Veronica do?

e. Do you think it

would be a good idea for Veronica to post something mean on Millie's Facebook

wall to get even? Why or why not?

What to Do If You’re Bullied

Classify the items into the

corresponding column.

Things

you can do if you are being bullied

Things

you can do to stay safe in the future

· Look at

the kid bullying you and tell him or her to stop in a calm, clear voice. You

can also try to laugh it off. This works best if joking is easy for you. It could catch the kid bullying

you off guard.

·

Talk to an adult you trust. Don’t keep

your feelings inside. Telling someone can help you feel less alone. They can

help you make a plan to stop the bullying.

·

Stay away from places where bullying

happens.

·

If speaking up seems too hard or not safe,

walk away and stay away. Don’t fight back. Find an adult to stop the bullying

on the spot.

·

Stay near adults and other kids. Most

bullying happens when adults aren’t around.

9.

Treat Everyone with Respect

Nobody should be

mean to others.

Choose the best options to

make the sentences logical.

·

Stop and think (before/after) you say or

do something that could hurt someone.

·

If you feel like being (kind/ mean) to

someone, find something else to do. Play a (game/ class), watch TV, or talk to

a friend.

·

Talk to (an adult/ a child) you trust.

They can help you find (people /ways) to be nicer to others.

·

Not better or worse. Just different.

someone in the past, apologize. Everyone feels better.
