Using Pixton to Discuss Bullying
Bullying ScenarioTwo boys from the grade 5 class go out for lunch
hour and decide to go hang out behind the school. While there, a group of grade 9s from a nearby high school approach the two boys and
begin calling names. When the boys try to leave, the grade 9 boys do not allow them to. This
makes the grade 5 boys cry, and the older boys call them “cry babies”. The lunch bell rings,
ending the confrontation. The grade 9 boys say they will hurt them if they tell anyone, especially
a teacher. How would you resolve this?
