A Working Community

A Working Community

If the community works together bullying has a way to be prevented. There are many community wide strategies that can help even identify the children who are having a problem with bullying, who are bullying, and even change attitudes of adults, children, and even youth who tolerate the bullying.

Potential Partners

Involve anyone who wants to learn and be involved within the community. Consider involving, business's, parents, youth, and people who work with kids.

• Identify those who works best with those who are bullying or are being bullied. Examples include therapists, service groups. law officers, faith organizations, and service groups.
• Learn what members in the community see and discuss ways to improve the solution.
• Work and involve the youth. They are born leaders and can take roles as leaders to prevent bullying within younger kids.

School Prevention

School Prevention

When kids go to school they want to be able to fill safe. If a child doesn't fill they are safe it can negatively impact their ability to learn. So how can bullying be stopped when address the issue before it even starts at hand. It might not seem like it but there are things faculty members can do to make their school a safer school.

Its important to train staff members about bullying and what can be done about the issue. Sadly there are no training's for staff or an bullying curriculum but there should be.

     Activities to Teach Kids about Bullying.

There doesn't necessarily have to be a bullying curriculum to learn about bullying. I think its important to just incorporate bullying activities within the schedule of learning. These activities can include.

• Research to learn more about it. 
• Presentations such as a role play activity.
• Have a discussion about bullying.
• Creative writing.
• Collages about what the affects are how to respect someone.
• Classroom meetings. 

If a school decides to do a bullying curriculum   make sure to do the right one that is best for you. Many programs out there are used for elementary and middle schools.
