Bullying: Part 2

Hiya there!
Glad you visited our blog c:
I'm PinkBunni BTW..
Anyways, I'm going to be talking about Bullying and ways to stop it. I learned a lot about bullying today. Some people visited my school and did a presentation about bullying.There are some major, important roles that take place in bullying! Here they are:
- Bystander: One who witnesses bullying, but does not take the initial to tell someone. We are ALL a bystander.
- Reactor: One who helps the victim, in other words, the "hero" that saves the day.
- Victim: Person being bullied
- BULLY: Of course, the mean BULLY!!!

We've all been bullied, I'm pretty sure. Have you ever felt/or been bullied before? I have.
People are so mean and that's because of their low self esteem, but they don't really understand how much their words hurt. People bully us because they know that we're weaker than them and they think that they can throw us all over the place. They also bully us to gain more popularity and impress their friends,
but it's only stupid and not worth it. You can get bullied about the way you dress, your hair, your personality, your height, how long or short your hair is, how smart or cool you are, and so on..but just remember one thing..Do what makes YOU happy, and the bullying will mean nothing to you. Sometimes I get bullied because of my height, race, and the way I dress, but I don't care what anyone has to say about me because I'm only here to impress myself and not them. Always be yourself and do not let ANYONE stop you from being you. If you ever see someone getting bullied,
- Tell an adult
- Call a police (if necessary)
- Try to stop it and help the victim 
NEVER JOIN IN THE BULLYING OR FIGHT. TRY TO HELP.

I will be presenting you will a song by TLC called , "Unpretty," which relates to this topic. We all feel unpretty sometimes, but we shouldn't. The song tells it all.

Methods to prevent bullying:
- Stay away from where the bullying happens
- Stay around nearby adults and kids. Most bullying doesn't happen when adults are around.
- Ask an adult to stop the bullying

How to protect yourself from cyber-bullying:
- Think about what you post before you post it. In other words, think about who will see it, and what will happen if they do.
- Do not say mean things about anyone online. Words do hurt.
- Keep your password a secret. Never give your password to ANYONE. Not even your closest friend.
- Report the bullying to a police. Print the messages out and give it to them.
- Let your parents or any adult you trust friend or follow you. Let them know what's going on, maybe they can help you.
- Do not respond to and forward cyber-bullying messages.
- Block the person who is cyber-bullying
- Keep evidence of cyber-bullying. Record the dates, times, and description of instances when cyber-bullying has occurred
- Report cyber-bullying to your school.

If you're a parent, please be aware of what your child is doing online. These will help:
- Know the sites your kids visit and online activities. Know where their going, who their with, and what their doing.
- Ask for your child's password. Tell them it's just in case of an emergency.
- Have a sense of what they do online and texts. Learn about the sites they use and try it our yourself.
