Bullying Is Psychological

Did You Know?

• The FBI found a link between bullies and many school shooters. • Can you guess the percentage of school shooters that were

bullied?• 71% of school shooters were bullied.

Hurt People

• When someone has been hurt, it’s highly likely that they may hurt another person in the same way.

• Hurt People, Hurt People• Students often emulate what they see from others or what

they receive themselves.

Healthy Habits

• “What you don’t talk out, you act out”• The brain is not a muscle, but you can create some healthy

habits that can help cope with pain that is associated with being bullied.

• A healthy practice to implement is to vent.

Venting

• Venting is releasing or transferring your emotions through words.

Sample statements to use when venting: • When he/she said _______, I felt ______.

Whenever he/she makes fun of me, I feel like _________ (giving up, going home, skipping school, hitting him/her).

5 (keys) To Venting

1. Analyze - Don’t react right away (take time to analyze your current situation)

2. Assume the best (Did they misinterpret what I said or did?) 3. Don’t take it personal (What’s wrong with me, instead, they

must be going through some hard stuff, ex. iceberg)

5 (keys) To Venting (cont.)

4. Act Upon Your Feelings - Don’t bottle up your feelings, find a release (art, journal, sports)

5. Don’t talk to everyone about issue. Pick an individual you trust.

The goal is to release emotions, not relive them over and over.

Healthy Practice Tip

Ask a close friend to tell you 3-5 positive characteristics that you have. Remember those positive characteristics the next time you’re bullied.
