Bullying: What is it? School bullying can be described as a situation in
which one or more students (the bullies) single out a child (the victim) and engage in behaviors intended to harm the child physically, emotionally, or socially.
4 components: Bully, victim, location, and bystanders. Types of bullying:
Direct: Bully confronts victim face to face (Boys). Indirect: Bully attacks the victim’s social standing or
reputation (Girls). Why: Bully may take joy in watching another child
suffer, like the increased social status, or covet the stolen item, but not due to lack of self-esteem.

Victims Characteristics: Possibly the lack of social
network to offer support and age. Passive: Physically weaker, avoid violence and
physical horseplay, and somewhat anxious. Provocative: Anxious and aggressive, poor
social skills. Take steps to ensure the victim’s safety. Help the victim to develop positive
connections with others. Teach assertiveness skills.

Bystanders Bystanders: NOT neutral observers and often times
are supporters of the bullying and may actively help. Make bystanders aware that their own behavior can
encourage or discourage bullying. Teach skills that bystanders can use to intervene
when they witness bullying. Hold bystanders accountable for their behavior in
bullying situations. Structure classroom and school wide activities to
encourage bystanders to develop positive relationship potential victims.
