Prevention of Cyber Bullying Stop – Don’t try to reason or talk to someone
who is bullying you. Block – Use the “block sender” technology to
prevent the person from contacting you. Talk – Tell a trusted adult, inform your
school, use a help line and report it to police. Save – Save any instant message or emails
you receive from the bully, or capture any comments that have been posted on the Web.

Strategies for Helping Students Who are Bullied Six steps to disengage from a student
who bullies… Ignore them (when possible) Tell them you don’t like it Move away from them toward witnesses Ask them to stop (locate more witnesses) Tell them to firmly stop (locate more
witnesses) Tell an adult – it is so important to tell
someone.

Strategies for EmpoweringStudents Who are Bullied
Bullies must be turned in! Peer Group Development Understand that “I” statements have
value with bullying situations. I feel (an emotion) When (say what behavior bothers you) Because (say why the behavior upsets
you) I would like (say what solution you would
like to try)

Students Who Bully Others Need to . . .
Acknowledge their own actions. Experience healthy shame and guilt (“I
broke a rule and got in trouble. I don’t want to go through that again!” “I hurt someone.”)
Acknowledge the results of their behavior on themselves and others.
Change their actions to stop a possible lifetime of abusive behavior.
Learn to trust and delay gratification. Form relationships with helping adults.

Bystander – You ARE Responsible!“There is a tremendous potential in using
by-standers to “assist” in solving the problem. Half the time when children intervene in a bullying episode, it stops after 10 seconds. The average episode lasts 38 seconds. The more bystanders (who watch and do nothing to intervene), the longer the bullying occurs.”

Strategies for Bystanders
Seek safe and effective ways to act Seek alternatives to confront the
aggressor Seek alternative to watching in silence Seek protection from retaliation if
aggressor does act Seek ongoing support from adults
