Every school year, we read and hear about the terrible things that are done to kids that are being bullied or the horrible things that they do to themselves. Whenever I talk about self defense with a student or parent or adult, there are a few questions that I ask them and that more importantly they should ask themselves.
Kids:
- name the different types of bullying(so the student can easily recognize them)
- what are the schools rules and procedures about bullying
- what are your parents rules about bullying
- how does being bullied make a person feel
- what state and local laws address bullying issues
Parents/Adults/Friends
- if you witness bullying it is your call to action
- address it immediately
- get the proper people involved
- don't let it go on
- document any important details
