| What options should be presented to anyone who is a victim of bullying? According to the web site of school violence authority Derek Randel (www.stoppingschoolviolence.com)
|
1. Spend time with friends. there is safety in numbers |
2. If possible ignore the bully or tell him/her to stop. Walk away instead of standing there. |
3. Always tell an adult- a trusted one like a teacher, principal, parent or someone in your family. |
4. Stay in safe areas of the school during lunch and breaks. Do not go to the bathroom alone, or walk around alone on the playground. |
5. Always stay where there are plenty of other people: never wander off on your own. |
6. Sit near the driver on the bus. Refuse to go to the back of the bus where the bullies maybe sitting. |
7. On your way to and from school,vary the route if possible: walk with others people even if they're younger or older. |
8. If you receive threatening phone call or e-mails, contact your police. |
9. Consider martial arts training (karate, judo). This helps numerous children with their self-confidence. |
10. Learn one-liners, these are short lines to stop being pulled into an argument.
|
11. Avoid eye contact. This can get the bully started and also it may show your fear.
|
12. Increase your number of friends. |
13. Look at your body language. carry your head high, shoulders back, chest out and walk like you own the place. |
