What are the Consequences?
Why Do Bystanders “Stand By” and Watch?- 35% do something (UP-Standers)
- 38% believe it’s “none of their business”
- 27% want to do something…but don’t…because…
It Your Business!
An “Up-Stander is Someone Who…
• Sticks up for you• Takes a stand against bullying• Helps you when you need it most
Don’t Stand By…Stand Up!!
• Did you know…• --That if one person
watching a bullying situation says "Stop it!", half the time the bullying will stop?
--When you stand by and do nothing you’re saying that bullying is okay with you. It makes you no better than the bully themselves.
What You Can Do…as an Up-Stander
• Speak up!...use your voice• Don’t give the bully
an audience!• Be there!...stand
next to the person being bullied
Up-standers are the Key to Stop Bullying• You could say…
– “Leave him alone.”– “That’s not cool!”– “We don’t do that here!”– “Let’s get out of here!”– “Hey! That’s not funny.”– “Stop!” with eye contact
What You Can Do…If You Are Being Bullied
• Ignore the bully & Walk away• Laugh …use humor to make the situation
better• Stand up to the bully in a non-violent way
–Be assertive– “Stop it, I don’t like what you are doing.”
• Report the bullying to a trusted adult
